Posting on Instagram via PC

Workarounds are available for you to employ to post from your desktop computer, regardless of whether you are using a Mac or a PC. Instructions will be different for you to follow depending on the browser that you use. The following is a discussion on how to carry it out:

• Safari
• Chrome

We will then move on to discussing how to publish a movie to Instagram from your PC once we have finished discussing these workarounds for posting photos.

Follow the instructions on the website of Instagram in your Chrome browser.

The first thing you should do is launch Google Chrome and type https://www.instagram.com/ into the navigation bar.

By clicking the three dots located in the upper right-hand corner of the browser, you may access the “Settings” menu section.

Three vertical dots can be seen in the uppermost menu on the right-hand side of the navigation bar. The moment you click on these, a menu with a drop-down menu will appear.

After selecting “More Tools” from the drop-down option, scroll down until you reach “Developer Tools,” and then click on it.

A menu that appears in a panel on the right side of your window is accessible to you when you use Developer Tools. If you use Chrome on your desktop, you will be able to publish to Instagram from there. This will allow you advanced control over how your browser displays material.

The mobile button labelled “Toggle Device Toolbar” should be clicked.

You’ll notice an icon with two squares that represent a tablet and a mobile device in the upper left corner of the new panel. This icon represents a tablet. The Device Toolbar, which provides you with more advanced control over your browser, will become visible once you click on it.

Make your selection from the drop-down menu of mobile devices that you would want to use.
One more drop-down menu that has a list of mobile devices can be found in the Device Toolbar. You can tell the browser to simulate the appearance of a website on the device you have chosen by selecting one of the options.

Make your selection from the drop-down option about the mobile device you would want to use, as well as the degree of zoom you would like to achieve. 

To view the mobile interface of Instagram from your browser, you will need to refresh the page.
If you follow these steps, you should be able to use Instagram directly from the emulator, or you could even close the panel on the right side of the screen while still maintaining this “mobile view.” 

You can upload a post to Instagram in the same manner as you would on your mobile device.
