Facebook has just launched a video feature on Instagram. Here are ten things you want to know:

  1. Your videos can be 3-15 seconds long.
  2. You need to record a video to be able to edit it. You will not be able to upload an existing video.
  3. You need an iOS/Android device to be able to record and edit videos on Instagram. You can however watch Instagram videos that other people have shared from any device.
  4. If you are using an iOS device, Instagram has a Cinema feature that you can use after you are done recording, to stabilize the video. 
  5. You can not tag people on videos.
