Hey there, @Katara88! Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear you’re running into that!

I took a quick peek and it looks like there’s a URL being passed into the video field.

If I’m not mistaken, YouTube requires an actual file object in order to post. I’m not certain which Instagram trigger is being used or if the file object is included in it but if it is that might be worth trying in lieu of the URL. 🙂

I hope that helps! Keep us posted! 

Hi, I tried other ones as well, but still have the same problem. I have contacted Zapier support. Thanks!

The privacy status in the Zap needs to be set here:

Hi @Katara88 the photo you uploaded with the results doesn’t show the little box on the bottom left. what does the privacy setting need to be listed as?
