HomeAs high quality 4K video goes mainstream, more and more videos are encoded with High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) codec, which promises twice the compression possible. To keep pace with the mainstreaming, many multimedia devices, video sharing sites have added the support of the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding ) codec. But Instagram still doesn't support H.265 codec videos, therefore, you can't upload H.265 video to Instagram by now.
