It’s Now Possible To Share IGTV Videos To Your Instagram Story


With IGTV, Instagram aims to re-envision mobile video and compete with the likes of YouTube. It’s available as a standalone app and as a tab inside the main Instagram app. It players vertical videos from the people users follow and shows personalized recommendations from other users. Instagram today announced that it’s now possible to share IGTV videos to your Instagram Story.

Users can share their favorite IGTV videos to their story easily starting today. All they need to do is tap on the paper airline at the bottom of the video they want to share and select the ‘Add video to your story’ option.

Their followers will then be able to tap on the preview to go and watch the entire video in IGTV. It’s a new way that Instagram is relying on to drive more eyeballs to IGTV. Instagram Story is an incredibly popular feature on the network so this will serve as a good route to funnel more users to IGTV.

Instagram hasn’t provided any figures as yet which reveal just how well IGTV has been doing. It’s unclear how many people are watching videos shared on it. This move on Instagram’s part is an effort to bolster those figures, however good they might be.

This 3D-Printed Ghost Rider Costume Is Smokin’

Mike Warren wanted to dress up as Ghost Rider for Halloween this year. Now, he could have just worn a cheap mask and leather jacket, but he wanted to go the extra mile with a wearable glowing skull helmet surrounded in a cloud of smoke. When you are Ghost Rider, that’s just how it has to be. You can’t cheap out.

Mike used a very modern tool for generating the smoke: a simple vape.  Plus, the glowing LEDs inside the skull do a really great job of creating the look of fire, without the risk of burning yourself himself beyond all recognition.

Combined with the smoke really creates the illusion that this is the real Ghost Rider. The smoke comes from a store-bought electronic cigarette. Warren modded it with custom controls, a fan unit, and some flexible tubes to redirect the vapor flow.

Warren documented the entire build on Instructables if you want to try making one yourself. That link has links to all of the parts and components he used, and the 3D skull model he modified and 3D printed.

This is one awesome Ghost Rider costume. Now all he needs is a flaming motorcycle to ride. Maybe he’ll make that next year.
