Get frustrated? No worry. Here we've worked out a simple solution to help you post MP4 video to Instagram without any hassle. Actually, there are two basic reasons to cause the issues when posting MP4 to Instagram. First, your MP4 video size, Frame Rate, Resolution, Bit Rate, Audio codec etc are not supported by Instagram. Or your MP4 video codec is out of support by Instagram(MP4 as a container format that has a lot of different codecs, some of which are not recognized ny Instagram.).
