**Sorry about the flickering of the lights in the background - it was NOT intentional. Tech 🤦♀️ Rest assured it won't be happening again in future videos.
Holy shlt, can you talk. Great information on Instagram. It's actually good that you get your point across quickly. Those of us with ADHD appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing! This may sound funny, but thank you for your quick speaking pace. Sometimes how-to videos can take too much time. Nice to have it well-presented but condensed.
Hey! :) I know right. As mentioned at the top of the description this was NOT intentional and doesn’t happen in any of my other videos. It was a tech glitch/camera setting.
Hey Paula! Yes sorry about that - it was NOT intentional :) We had a setting wrong in the camera that wasn't picked up until it was too late. It's not my new thing 😅 All future videos will be back to nice static lights.
Love your video very informative. One recommendation the background light tent to take away from you. Also, people like me those light tent to give them migraine headaches or people with epilepsy they can trigger a seizure. But don't stop you are doing fabulous. Thank you for the information and God bless.
Great question! I thinkkkk it carries across to FB stories too :) Link in bio doesn't exist on Facebook so you'll set that up separately in FB. But Facebook captions themselves can have links so it's less needed.
This is fantastic. Thanks so much. I am trying to make a lead magnet with a pop up to collect emails. I have created my pages. How do I add the pop up to collect the addresses
Thank you for your videos Jacqui! I am a business owner and trying to figure out how to improve our instagra layout, posts, reels, stories, and marketing campaign. Your videos are helping me very much. Liked and subscribed :) (and followed your instagrams) 😃
This was very helpful. Thank you. One question, when adding the link sticker to a story, why can't the background color of the customized sticker background cannot be changed from white to a different color when the text is all in Capital letter, and even though I write the customized text in all capitals when setting up the sticker link, why does it show as lower case? What am I doing wrong?
This was really helpful. I added a link sticker to my story, but I am not able to change the color of the color of the sticker to other than white when all the text is on Capitals. Only when the text is in lower case. Do you know why would that be?
This info is just what I need right now, but those flickering lights, OMG. Have to take breaks all the time from watching. I am sure I will get through the video eventually, as it seems to be on the point ;-)
hi. i ve just done that and put a link on one of my IG stories, and when a friend on android touches the link it goes to proper page, but on ios the “visit link” doesn’t work and only shows the weblink text string! what’s wrong?
Thanks Jacqui! Is there any way to add the stickers to post already shown on your Instagram? I try to edit the post and could not find the face that you mentioned to add the sticker.
I would like to add a link to my story but I want it to show only in the last seconds of the story. Can I choose on which frame the link shows up? Thanks
Nope sorry! Stories don’t have frames for us to work with. You can have multiple stories though so I would recommend adding the link to the second story :) works a charm.
I believe so. You can't do much on Instagram without a phone. You might be able to try the Meta Business Suite on desktop - but I haven't personally used it for Instagram story links to know.
Hmmm, It seems it may not be available to absolutely everyone? From Instagram: “This feature may be unavailable for countries located in Europe.If you aren't seeing certain stickers on Instagram, make sure that your app has been updated to the latest version by visiting the App Store or Google Play Store. Bear in mind that not all stickers are available to everyone or available for reels.”
I do alot of Tiktok videos for TikTok shop products. Would it be wise to post those same videos on my instagram with the link to the video to TikTok or no? Thanks for the video!
Usually you’d do this through an opt-in. This is often done by a third party program (usually your CRM) that has a landing page where they input their email address in return for something.
How come I don't even have the "link" sticker? I have a small number of stickers, and when I search it on the top, it shows all sorts of images of links like a chain, but no actual "link" sticker.
Hmm I’ve never heard of that sorry! It should be there. I’m assuming your app is updated? Sometimes Instagram has things only available to some accounts. But I hadn’t heard of that happening with link stickers.
@@jacquinaunton yeah it moved. But it's not small enough. I see other insta stories, the font can be small with a lot of words but mine can't. idk. So it's still bigger than the rest of the fonts on my design graphic.

Hey legends, I wrote in the description too but this was an accident! 😅 Won’t be happening again, I agree it’s too much. The camera settings messed up and I didn’t realise until it was too late.
Are you referring to when a post asks you to comment a certain word, and when you do, you get a message with the link? :) This is called a ManyChat Funnel (manychat is a program you can automate messages based on key words). For those bigger in business and have the time and budget, this is a VERY effective tool.
@Bichisaidwhatisaid Manychat is a website platform (Google it and it'll pop up). I do believe it has a free version. Or, even for myself so far - I just do this manually. I have a keyword on my posts and if someone comments it I just MANUALLY send them a message with the details they need. Example: instagram.com/p/C2b7ruEvxtD/
Love everything except the distracting flashing lights behind you. What's that about? You seem to be the only truth teller on this subject too, so THANKS-THANKS-THANKS
I know right! There’s a note in the description - tech issues - so annoying 🤦🏻♀️ it’s literally my only video it’s happened in. So glad the video was helpful though!
Hey there! Sorry that you found it a bit quick. Talking fast is a struggle I've had my entire life and one I'm learning I just have to embrace. I hope that you can still understand me. If not, some people use the speed feature to slow me down a little. The lights were so frustrating, a setting mucked up on my camera - this is the only video with this issue. Thanks for watching anyway 💜
@@jacquinaunton You have great content so I will keep watchting but I have to say i pause to not get to aggitated. The flickering light in combination with the speed is undoable for me. I understand the struggle though.

**Sorry about the flickering of the lights in the background - it was NOT intentional. Tech 🤦♀️ Rest assured it won't be happening again in future videos.
Great explanation, very clear and helpful unlike many others who make it so confusing.
Been all day trying to figure this out and finally googled and found you. Thanks so much, absolutely awesome!
Hooray!! So thrilled it helped!
I still can figure this out. Has this change recently!?
Thank you SO much! I have been trying to figure this out and you made it very clear. Great content.
Holy shlt, can you talk. Great information on Instagram. It's actually good that you get your point across quickly. Those of us with ADHD appreciate it!
Right!? That's what I think :P
ahhh thank you so much miss J i watched like 100 before this. thanks for doing step by step instead of assuming every one know where to click
Glad to help! If you get stuck make sure to check the updated video in the description :) a few things have updated since this one!
Thanks for sharing! This may sound funny, but thank you for your quick speaking pace. Sometimes how-to videos can take too much time. Nice to have it well-presented but condensed.
Love your background and the lighting, it creates a beautiful vibe. Great info also!
Thanks so much! I really like how it turned out :)
This has made things so much easier, thankyou so much for this information. Much appreciated.
You are Awesome ! The video presented a lot of informations
Thank you - you solved the mystery I had! Great video with great tips!
I had checked out other TH-cam tutorial videos but they were not showing me how to add a direct link. You did. THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏻🙂
Very informative! Thank you!!!
Such a pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Please turn off the continuously glowing lights behind you. Very disturbing. Cannot concentrate on what you are saying.
Hey! :) I know right. As mentioned at the top of the description this was NOT intentional and doesn’t happen in any of my other videos. It was a tech glitch/camera setting.
I didn't even notice till you said
You should be listening with your ears not your eyes, i had no issues concentrating.
@@JediGamingXthanks for randomly giving people advice on functioning as a human being definitely not pandering or anything
Thank you so much is really helpful. Please how do I take off the question mark ❓ sign below the link in bio ?
Thank you
Hope you save lives even when it isn't needed.
Love your videos but the flashing background makes me dizzy, just can’t watching it. Hope it’s a constructive criticism 😊
Hey Paula! Yes sorry about that - it was NOT intentional :) We had a setting wrong in the camera that wasn't picked up until it was too late. It's not my new thing 😅 All future videos will be back to nice static lights.
Thanks for the tutorial, cleared up the link in bio for me.
such a helpful video for a complete beginner
So glad to hear it!! There is an updated version of this in the description of you find anything in here outdated too 💜
Love your video very informative. One recommendation the background light tent to take away from you. Also, people like me those light tent to give them migraine headaches or people with epilepsy they can trigger a seizure. But don't stop you are doing fabulous. Thank you for the information and God bless.
Thanks! The flashing lights were definitely NOT intentional :) it was an incorrect camera setting - so all good, none of my other videos do this.
Yes very helpful! I agree the background created a distraction however I wanted the info so I ignored it! Thank you
Well done ignoring! It's a bit annoying. Thanks for the encouragement :)
Thank you for all the great info !! ? - When the site is auto-shared to FB, will the same links be available to ppl who visit my bio or story?
Great question! I thinkkkk it carries across to FB stories too :) Link in bio doesn't exist on Facebook so you'll set that up separately in FB. But Facebook captions themselves can have links so it's less needed.
This is fantastic. Thanks so much. I am trying to make a lead magnet with a pop up to collect emails. I have created my pages. How do I add the pop up to collect the addresses
Exciting! The popup form will need to be made on your email CRM and then embedded into a website or landing page :)
Thank you for helping out this old dinosaur!
Thank You! I just did it works fine. I wanted to post differently but it's also fine. Good video.
Thanks so much Jacqui. Question: If I share this Instagram story to Facebook with the link attached, will the link be clickable in Facebook?
Yes! :) when I share a link on Instagram it seems to also work in my Facebook stories
What if I don't see that link sticker anywhere in stickers? It's really not there!
Thank you for your videos Jacqui! I am a business owner and trying to figure out how to improve our instagra layout, posts, reels, stories, and marketing campaign. Your videos are helping me very much. Liked and subscribed :) (and followed your instagrams) 😃
So thrilled to help! Excited to have you here 💜
Can you show how to add their username in your post. Example @username like when it's towards the end of there captions
Excellent, clear Tutorial!
How do I add multiple links using Canva?❤❤❤
Where/what are you wanting to ad the multiple links to? :) 💜

Hmm I haven’t heard of that happening before. You could try updating the app - the link sticker function has changed a little recently for me.
Thank you, it really helped me. The only thing I don't understand is where the post with the link sticker was going to.
This info is just what I need right now, but those flickering lights, OMG. Have to take breaks all the time from watching. I am sure I will get through the video eventually, as it seems to be on the point ;-)
Right?! I’m so impressed people are watching this! I didn’t expect this video to be so helpful. So frustrated the tech let me down on this one 🤦🏻♀️
Just wanted to say thanks for your video. It helped me out a lot. Cheers! ✌🏾😊
hi. i ve just done that and put a link on one of my IG stories, and when a friend on android touches the link it goes to proper page, but on ios the “visit link” doesn’t work and only shows the weblink text string! what’s wrong?
Thank you for your do’s and don’ts and I love your examples
Loved the explanation. thank you
your videos are amazing. When I do it, I do not have "link". but on my bio I have link to my amazon store. what should I do?
@jacquinaunton would you please be kind and help me out. thank you
Thanks! That was really helpful!
8 minute video to find out you can't do it
I mention at 1:36 that you can’t share clickable links unless in your stories :)
The lights!!!!
Awesome very helpful, love from South Africa. ❤
Thanks for being here! Hi to South Africa!
does this link setup only work on mobile devices and not desktop PC? I do not see the smiley face sticker.
Instagram is definitely a mobile priority program so I’d say you’ll have to use mobile not PC :)
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. It was very helpful and I can't wait to try it. Bravo
Thank you so much for your encouragement! It is so appreciated 💜💜 enjoy using this!
Hii mam I am not getting that's link option please help that emoji is coming at below of the post please can you help me immediately
Thanks, it worked! very helpful.
Thanks Jacqui! Is there any way to add the stickers to post already shown on your Instagram? I try to edit the post and could not find the face that you mentioned to add the sticker.
Hey Bobbie! Stickers are ONLY available for Instagram STORIES, not posts. Gif posts, you’ll have to direct people to the link in your bio
That's awesome Bern trying to figure that out
Great video. Don't you use Hashtags on your Captions?
You can absolutely use hashtags! They won’t help you link URLs outside of Instagram though :)
♥♥ love that
this was a big help
Thanks so much! Can you link a reel to a story?
I’m not sure you can link a story in your reel but you can share a reel to your stories
@@jacquinaunton ok thank you
How would you do a poll on instagram
Same technique :) create a story, click the sticker/face looking icon and choose “poll”
@@jacquinaunton thank you
Jacqui my fellow Collingwood supporter 😇
I would like to add a link to my story but I want it to show only in the last seconds of the story. Can I choose on which frame the link shows up? Thanks
Nope sorry! Stories don’t have frames for us to work with. You can have multiple stories though so I would recommend adding the link to the second story :) works a charm.
@@jacquinaunton Thank you!
How can you use the link stick when creating on PC?
Instagram is first and formost a mobile app so it’s not optimised to create on computer. I’m not 100% sure if possible or not.
Very helpful thank you, you have a new subscriber :)
Glad to have you!! 🥳
So very helpful!!
OMG! You explain it so an old dog like me can understand what to do. I will be checking out more of your videos. Thanks Jacqui.
I'm so glad to hear it helped!! Enjoy!
Can this only be done using a smart phone? I've not got one and I'm trying to do it on a desktop.
I believe so. You can't do much on Instagram without a phone. You might be able to try the Meta Business Suite on desktop - but I haven't personally used it for Instagram story links to know.
@@jacquinauntonThank you for getting back to me :)
Hey, just tried it and the link sticker is not on the list of stickers?
Hmmm, It seems it may not be available to absolutely everyone?

Thank you!
My pleasure 💜
my menu is completely different and I don't see the link button. Did this change?
Hmm mine still looks similar. Some have it not appear if they haven’t updated the app, or depending on what country you’re in
very helpful. thank you
I do alot of Tiktok videos for TikTok shop products. Would it be wise to post those same videos on my instagram with the link to the video to TikTok or no? Thanks for the video!
Good question! I’m not sure sorry. You could always test and see what works best!
@@jacquinaunton I shared 2 today from TikTok to IG story and was able to add the link also and worked great so far! :)
What should I search to find that link button? Unfortunately I don’t see it!
What country are you in? Some seem to not have it.
United States. I think I figured it out, it has to be a story, not a reel! Thank you for replying!!
Gracias reina, super util
how do you set up asking for an email when they go to click your link in instagram ??
Usually you’d do this through an opt-in. This is often done by a third party program (usually your CRM) that has a landing page where they input their email address in return for something.
Great Info :)

CAN YOU ADD A LINK INTO A REEL? I DON'T SEE AN OPTION EXCEPT FOR LINK TO BIO
No links in reels. They are like normal posts :)
Thank you and love you
Thank you!
hi how do you add those circle links?
Could you expand a little by what you mean by a “circle link”? :)
how to make link font smaller on instagram story? i already pinch it but still doesn't move an inch
Keep trying pinching. That’s the only way to do it. Make sure you’re pinching right on top of the link sticker with 2 fingers moving at the sane time.
@@jacquinaunton yeah it moved. But it's not small enough. I see other insta stories, the font can be small with a lot of words but mine can't. idk. So it's still bigger than the rest of the fonts on my design graphic.
Thank you
Watching from india🇮🇳
I want how to give our product link below the instagram post
Can you make a video on that?
That’ll usually be done via an ad. So you’ll need to create an ad using the meta ad suite :)
I tried, but it says the link is too long.
I don’t see the link button.
Hmmm I don't hve that "LINK" opton available to me? Help...
Hmmm, Have just done a Google. It seems it may not be available to absolutely everyone?

thx
the link option on profile is appearing, but it is not setting with the title ..anyone with same issue?
Could you clarify what you mean by setting a title? X
@@jacquinaunton Yes sure... for setting a url with a title , so it is not displaying the title on the profile, instead it is displaying complete url
Hmmm title doesn’t seem to work for me too!!
Thank you
no help for a desktop?
Instagram is a mobile focussed app. It’s desktop features are very limited unfortunately.
Love the video but the light flashes behind you are driving me crazy!
Right?! Definitely wasn’t intentional and thankfully the only video that does this
Thanks , but what if the link is too long
I’ve never heard of that happening.. and I’ve used some pretty long links! Even so, perhaps try a something like bitly.com to shorten it :)
Video starts at 3:00
I feel tipsy on the backlight effect -_-
I really like your videos but please, don't use that light. You don't need that. You are enough 😊
Hey legends, I wrote in the description too but this was an accident! 😅 Won’t be happening again, I agree it’s too much. The camera settings messed up and I didn’t realise until it was too late.
If we comment someones post “link” an automatic link will come know…can u explain that
