Not all users have access to Instagram’s Branded Content Tag on IGTV, but Instagram is now providing users with Business or Creator accounts the capability to use to gain access to the feature on IGTV. When utilizing the feature, then the tagged IGTV content will display the ‘paid partnership with’ label and the partner’s name.
The capacity to use branded content tags within IGTV videos will be of particular relevance to brands inquiring to work with influencers to advertise their products, an area that Instagram has been working to facilitate better. That’ll also provide top-level creators more ways to monetize their efforts and keep them on-platform for longer – which, for IGTV, is a crucial concern at this stage.
The capability to label branded content on IGTV may not open up more opportunities for creators to work with sponsors. Still, it will surely help Instagram control paid-for content on IGTV.
HOW YOU CAN ADD THE TAG:-
- Before posting, click on the “Advanced Settings.”
- You can search for your partner by clicking the “Tag Business Partner.”
