Facebook, as the parent company of Instagram, made it easy for users to share content between the two platforms. Just like regular posts (photos and short videos), you can also share your Instagram TV videos (IGTV) on Facebook with one click. It’s a transparent process, but there are times when it doesn’t work. This message will walk you through solving the issues that prevent you from sharing IGTV videos on Facebook.

IGTV videos can be shared on Facebook from the Instagram app, Instagram Web or the dedicated IGTV app. If your IGTV videos fail to be shared on Facebook, you can try other platforms / devices. In other words, use the IGTV app if you can’t share your videos on the Instagram app or on the web. You must also make sure that your application (Instagram or IGTV) is up to date.
Still can’t share IGTV videos on Facebook? Then move on to the other solutions listed below.
Note: The fixes in this guide apply to Android and iOS devices.
1. Reconnect the Facebook account
I assume you have connected your Instagram app (or IGTV) to your Facebook account. And if you can’t share IGTV videos with your Facebook audience, you need to unlink your Facebook account from Instagram, reconnect it, and try again.
We’ll show you how to do it on the Instagram and IGTV app.
Reconnect Facebook on the Instagram app

Note: To connect to another Facebook account, you must first log out of your default mobile browser.
Your account will be linked to your Facebook page. The in-app IGTV service should now detect your Facebook account every time you try to share your IGTV videos.
Reconnect Facebook on the IGTV app

2. Check IGTV status
If you’re still unable to share IGTV videos on Facebook, check to see if the IGTV service is up and running. The problem could come from the end of Instagram; the IGTV server could be down, for example.
You should check with your friends to see if they are facing similar issues. You can also use third-party tools to check if Instagram’s IGTV status. DownDetector is a reputable platform that monitors the status of websites in real time to detect outages and other service interruptions.
If the Facebook sharing problem persists with your IGTV videos, check that the service is working properly. You can check the status of IGTV via the button below.
3. Link the Facebook page to Instagram

You must meet two important prerequisites to share IGTV videos on Facebook.
- You must be the administrator of a Facebook page.
- The page must be linked to your Instagram account.
When I couldn’t share IGTV videos on my Facebook account, I discovered it was because my Facebook page was not linked to my Facebook account. After fixing this, I was able to share my IGTV videos.
Follow the steps below to connect your Facebook page to your IGTV.
Step 1: Open the administration panel of your Facebook page and tap Settings.
