The photo and video social-sharing platform Instagram recently launched a new feature, IGTV, that will allow users to share videos of up to an hour in length. Videos uploaded to Instagram previously had to be under one minute, 但IGTV, accessed through a new button in the top right corner of the existing app or through a new standalone app, is designed specifically for long-form, 垂直视频.

1 billion global users in June and growth outpacing Facebook and Snapchat, the platform represents a growing opportunity to reach consumers.
