Meta is taking Instagram videos off the phone and putting them on the TV. The idea is simple: instead of watching clips alone on a small screen, you could watch them on the big screen in your living room, possibly with the whole family.
What changed
Instagram is owned by Meta, the same company that runs Facebook and WhatsApp. Until now, Instagram has mostly been a phone app. This move points to a different habit, where people sit back and watch Instagram videos on a TV the way they watch other shows.
Who it affects
Anyone who watches Instagram videos could see this change. Families may end up sharing clips on one screen. Businesses that post video on Instagram may also reach people on TVs, not only on phones.
What is not known yet
The source we saw leaves out the key details. It does not say which TVs will work, which countries will get it, or when it will start. It also does not explain how it will work, or whether it will cost anything.
What happens next
Meta has not shared a timeline in what we saw. Until it does, there is nothing to download or set up. Business owners who already make video can keep doing so, and watch for an official announcement with the details.
The takeawayInstagram videos may soon play on your TV, but which TVs, which countries and when are still unannounced.
