Instagram has been one of the most popular social media platforms for more than a decade. This platform allows you to post pictures and videos that can be viewed by your followers and get likes, shares, and comments. Instagram is usually used on smartphones, but if you are wondering whether you can use it to watch videos/reels on your Google TV, you will be thrilled to hear that it is possible. However, the process is a bit tricky.
Since Instagram is not natively compatible with Google TV, you have to opt for the other ways. You can either sideload the app using the Downloader app or screencast Instagram from your Android phone or Windows/Mac to use the app to its fullest.
