You’re probably uploading your videos to YouTube or Vimeo and embedding them on your website. But don’t rely on people to come looking for them.

Stories on both platforms can contain multiple videos to communicate a message and will disappear in 24 hours. You can link your Facebook and Instagram business profiles to push your Instagram Stories to Facebook Stories.
