Instagram Notes has a new feature that lets you upload a 2-second video loop alongside text or music when sharing your thoughts and daily updates. Although video loops are designed to vanish from Instagram DM after 24 hours just like any other note, if you wish to remove a video note you’ve shared recently, the following post should help you get that done.

FAQs

What is a video loop on Instagram Notes?

Video loop is a new feature available that’s part of Instagram Notes; it’s essentially a shorter version of Instagram Stories that your friends can interact with via messages. You can create a note with a 2-second video to support the text note or music you post as thoughts and this video will be played in a loop for as long as it’s visible.

People can react to your video loop with text, stickers, photos, videos, GIFs, and even audio messages. These replies will be visible inside the dedicated DM threads you have with the senders.

My video note no longer appears on Instagram. Why?

When you post a video loop note to your Instagram DM, it will be visible to your followers or close friends for up to 24 hours. If the video note you uploaded recently no longer appears on the Direct Messages screen, it’s probably because the note had run out of 24-hour validity. When a video note expires, neither you nor others will be able to view or access it on Instagram. 

Additionally, video notes may vanish if you remove them personally from your Instagram DM or replace them with a new note. 

Can you post multiple video notes on Instagram?

No. When you attempt to create a new note with an existing video note already uploaded, the new note will replace any current note you’ve shared on Instagram.
