How Long Can An Instagram Story Be? [Quick Answer]

The maximum time limit for a single video in Instagram Stories is 60 seconds, which is longer than the previous 15 seconds. If you add a video that exceeds this time limit, Instagram will automatically trim the video to fit the 60-second time limit.

Plus, note that Stories will disappear from your feed after 24 hours unless you save them to Highlights on your Instagram profile. Here, we've also provided you with another way to save your favorite stories - screen recording them for later viewing.

Mobile users can use the built-in screen recorder - swipe down to go to Quick Settings, tap the Screen Record button and navigate to the Instagram Story you want to record. Stop recording when you're done and the video will be saved. For PC users, iTop Screen Recorder is a decent free option for recording Insta Story with voice.
