Your account is in good standing and hasn't previously been disabled for monetization.
You upload original, quality content that is advertiser-friendly.
Your video content complies with our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
You have reviewed our copyright education materials.
If you meet these criteria, learn how to become a partner here.

Music (including cover songs, lyrics, and background music)
Graphics and pictures (including photographs and artwork)
Movie or TV visuals
Video game or software visuals. Click here for details.
Live performances (including concerts, sporting events, and shows)
Users in some countries may still need to apply through an application form.

Becoming a partner is easy: if your account is eligible, you may opt yourself in to the YouTube Partner Program.
Enable your channel for monetization
To check your channel's eligibility and opt in:
Visit the Monetization tab in your account settings.
If your account is in good standing and hasn't been previously disabled for monetization, click Enable My Account.
Follow the steps to accept the YouTube Monetization agreement.
You may see a different message if your your account is not enabled for monetization.
Monetize your videos
You may enable eligible videos to earn money from relevant ads after you opt in your channel for monetization. This guide has more information about how you can enable monetization for specific videos.

Multi-channel networks (MCNs)
Multi-Channel Networks (MCNs, or “networks”) are entities that affiliate with multiple YouTube channels, often to offer content creators assistance in areas including product, programming, funding, cross-promotion, partner management, digital rights management, monetization/sales, and/or audience development. MCNs are not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
Whether or not to join an MCN is an important decision. You should do your homework and make the decision that works for you. Thoroughly investigate the MCN’s track record and evaluate the benefits being promised against your obligations to the network.
Considerations when joining a Multi-Channel Network
If you're not currently a YouTube partner, you may want to learn about the benefits of becoming a individual YouTube partner, including monetization and international support. If you're already a YouTube partner, think about whether joining an MCN is likely to improve your performance. Check out the Ad Performance reports in your YouTube Analyticsto understand your current performance as it relates to what an MCN offers.
Here are a few questions to consider when evaluating whether to join an MCN:
MCN value proposition: How is the MCN different from other YouTube MCNs in terms of services they're offering, creators in the MCN, vertical focus, location, contract, and payments to you? Are their services consistent with your goals?
Contract: What are the terms around leaving the MCN or termination from the MCN? What is the contract length? Note that we discourage contracts that include perpetuity clauses.
Partner support: What type of partner support will you be receiving? Will they help you optimize your channel? Whom can you contact if you have an issue and what is the support turnaround time?
Promotion: How will they promote your channel? Will there be collaboration opportunities with other creators in the MCN, and how likely are you to participate in those?
Transparency: Will you get visibility into your earnings once you join the MCN?
Location/Language: Is the MCN based in your time zone and will this impact support turnaround time? Will they be able to assist you with local opportunities? Are there any language barriers?
Ad sales: Do they have an ad sales team for your region or vertical, and how will that benefit you?
You may wish to consult legal counsel before entering into any agreement with an MCN, so that you fully understand (1) your commitment to the network and (2) what benefits they are committing to you. Note that YouTube is not involved directly in these agreements, as they are between the MCN and you, the channel owner.
Considerations when leaving a Multi-Channel Network
Most MCNs may ask you to enter into a binding agreement when you join. YouTube has no involvement in your agreement, and will not be able to terminate your relationship with that MCN.
If you wish to leave an MCN, you'll need to ask the MCN to release your YouTube channel from their account. YouTube is unable to provide advice regarding disputes between channel owners and MCNs.
Regaining partner status
If you leave an MCN, your channel will revert back to its partnership status from before joining the MCN.
If you weren't a partner before joining the MCN, you may become one, and you can learn more here. If you were a partner before joining the MCN, your account will revert to its original partnership status. It's your responsibility to work with the MCN to ensure all relevant assets are released or transferred to your new account. Assuming you meet all the other criteria for YouTube partnership, you'll need to submit your videos for monetization review.
Monetization is Not available for my account
You can check whether your account is available for monetization on the Monetization tab in your account settings.
Users in some countries may still have to apply for the YouTube Partner Program via an application, in which case the message "This feature is currently not available in your country" will appear.
If you see the message "Your monetization tab has been disabled," this means your account isn't eligible for monetization as it may not be in good standing or may have been disabled for monetization previously.
Opt in to YouTube partner updates
Periodically, the YouTube team will send out updates and optimization tips via email newsletters. In order to receive these updates and tips, you'll need to opt in to receive email communications.
To do this:
Sign in to YouTube.
Visit the Emails section of your Account Settings.
Under the YouTube Newsletters heading, check the box next to General updates (including YouTube Broadcast).
Click Save.
Once you've opted in to receiving these occasional updates, we'll include you in our next partner newsletter and other updates.
Opt out of the YouTube Partner Program
To opt out of the YouTube Partner Program, you may disable ads on your monetized videos. You can do this either from your Video Manager or from your Channel Settings page, by selecting the radio button next to "Do not allow advertisements to be displayed alongside my videos."

Why are my Myspace photos and information in Google search?
Google will crawl a website to index image and page URL’s updating those results to their search engine. Myspace has a high Google search rank so there’s a possibility that your profile will show up in Google search if it’s public.
Why is my deleted content still showing up in Google search?
Deleted content will still show in Google search because Google caches search results, which means that deleted content is still visible and searchable. Until Google updates its search index to reflect the recent change, links to the profile and images will still be available. Links to deleted content will return an invalid page error.

If the profile is not deleted, is the content actually private?

What we need?
In order to assist with your request we will require the URL’s for the images you would like to have removed. In order to retrieve the URL please follow the below steps:
Step 1

Youtube Viewing Options
Youtube Viewing Options
Video quality
To give you the best viewing experience possible, YouTube adjusts the quality of your video stream from standard definition (such as 240p or 360p) to high definition (720p or 1080p), based on the speed of your Internet connection (bandwidth). This is why you may notice that the quality of your video changes as you watch videos.
Here are some other factors that determine video quality:
Video player size: By default, the quality setting will be on “Auto” and YouTube will use the highest quality based on your video player size.
Quality of the original uploaded video: For example, if the video was recorded in standard definition, it will not be available in high definition.
Change video quality
If you’re viewing YouTube videos on your computer, you can manually change the video quality by clicking the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the video player, and selecting your preferred quality.
You may see different quality options depending on which device you're using. If you don't see an option to select a video quality, that means playback quality is automatically determined.
If you’re signed in to YouTube on your computer, you can set default video quality preferences for all videos:
Never Play High Quality Video
If you have a slow Internet connection, you can make the video load more quickly by using a lower quality setting.
Go to your Settings page
Select I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video
Click the Save button
Always Play HD On Full Screen
If you have a fast Internet connection, you can change your settings to make sure videos always play in HD qualities when they’re available:
Go to your Settings page
Select Always play HD on fullscreen (when available)
Click the Save button
Watch Videos On Slow Connection Dial Up
Watch videos on slow connections (Dial-up)
Still rockin' the 56k? No problem. Even if you have a slow Internet connection, you can still watch YouTube videos. Here are some tips on optimizing your viewing experience:
Choose lower video quality settings (such as 240p and 360p) from the gear icon in the bottom right side of the video player.
Start the video and then click the Pause button immediately. Wait for the gray video progress bar to load a bit before clicking Play.
Change your video player settings to not default to the highest quality stream.
Try watching a shorter video; the shorter the video, the less time it takes to load.
Full Screen Mode
When you view a video, you can choose from three different size options: default, Large player or Full screen. To switch to full screen, click the rightmost rectangular icon in the bottom right corner of the video player. To exit out of full screen, press Esc on your keyboard or click the Full screen icon again.
If you have problems viewing full screen videos, make sure you have the most up-to-date version of Adobe Flash Player.
System Requirements
System requirements
In order to watch YouTube videos, make sure you have the following:
Adobe Flash Player
Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, or Opera
Internet connection with 500+ Kbps
Movies, TV shows, and live events requirements
Some premium content on YouTube -- like movies, TV shows, and live events -- require a faster connection and greater processing power to ensure optimal streaming speeds.
Adobe Flash Player
Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari
Operating system: Windows 7+, Mac OS X 10.7+, Ubuntu 10+, or Linux OS 11+ (64-bit)
Internet connection with 1+ Mbps
Make sure to close other tabs, browsers, and programs while streaming your content. It may also help to hardwire your Internet connection, instead of using a wireless network connection.
Chrome for Ubuntu or other Linux operating systems are not supported. If you receive an error message when attempting to use a supported browser, you may need to install a HAL module.
Using YouTube with a screen reader
Introduction
This following information will be helpful for people using screen readers as it explains the steps for using YouTube with screen readers. A screen reader is a software application that identifies and interprets what is being displayed on the computer screen. This information is then presented to a blind user as speech. Visually impaired or blind people use screen readers. This article provides step-by-step process for using YouTube making it easier for a new user to explore YouTube.
lightbulb icon Please note: The experience of using YouTube may not be same with all screen readers due to inconsistency of support of technology by the various screen readers. To learn more about using YouTube with a screen reader that supports Adobe Flash accessibility extensions, please see this accessibility feedback page.
Read on to learn more about using YouTube with a screen-reader and discover which keyboard shortcuts are available for the site:
Creating a YouTube account
A Google account is needed to sign in to YouTube (ex. Gmail or Calendar etc.). If you do not have a Google account then you can go ahead and create one using the following steps:
Go to www.youtube.com
Click the "create account" link (located at the top of the page after the search button).
Complete the requested steps. Once you've signed up you'll have an account and can get started.
Having an account allows you to sign into YouTube and take advantage of YouTube's community features. You can upload videos, comment on videos, save videos to playlists etc.. These are just a few of the benefits of signing up for a YouTube account. You do not need to sign in to use some basic features of YouTube. Such as, searching for videos, viewing videos etc..
Searching YouTube and Search Results
Searching for YouTube videos
Navigate to www.youtube.com
Navigate to the search edit box at the top of the page.
Please note: Though the search edit box does not have a label, it is located at the top of the page, has a search button after it, and is the only edit box on this page.
Type a search term and press enter.
Search results
The search results page has a "did you mean" section which suggests proper words if you misspelled the word(s).
Prior to the search results, various sorting options are provided to help you sort through the results.
Each of the search results has the following information:
A title of the video along with the duration of the video which is a link and a graphic. Hence, navigating using graphics would help navigating to and through the results quicker. Clicking on this will play the video.
A "+" sign which is link. Clicking on this will play the video as well.
The text "added to queue".
The title of the video which is also a link. Clicking on it will play the video as well.
A snippet of the video.
Name of the individual who posted the video.
How many years ago the video was uploaded and the number of views it has had so far.
Sometimes you will find a heading level 2, "Related searches" with heading level 3s below it. These are other search categories related to the search term(s) you typed. Clicking any of these search categories will take you to another page which has video results for that category.
The YouTube Flash Player
Once you click one of the search results, the flash player will load and the video will start playing automatically. Here are the components and layout of the flash player:
Section headers:
H1 for the title of the video
H4 for "highest rated comments", "all comments", and "suggestions".
The flash player has the following components:
Subtitles:
If a video has subtitles then the subtitles are placed at the top of the video. The subtitles section begins with the text "subtitles start" followed by two lines of subtitles and end with the text "subtitles end". If the subtitles are on, the screen reader should say "Subtitles Loaded". If the subtitles are off, press the "Subtitles Unloaded" button, the button should change to "Subtitles Loading". Then after two seconds or so it should speak "Subtitles Loaded". From that point on the subtitles will appear at the beginning of the Flash player.
Play/pause button:
The button text toggles based on the current status of the video.
Seek slider:
The seek slider is used to fast forward or rewind the video and to increase or decrease the volume. To use the seek slider, first turn off virtual cursor then tab to the slider.
Use left/right arrow keys to fast forward/rewind the video and use the up/down arrow keys to increase/decrease volume.
Mute/unmute: This button toggles depending on whether the video is muted or not muted.
360p button:
This button changes the quality of the video in terms of pixels. Here are the available resolutions: 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p (default), 240p, 240p Light
Pop-out button:
The pop-out button creates a new browser window and places only the player with the video that is currently playing. It leaves out all the content that is outside the actual player. This allows users to resize the player any way they like.
lightbulb icon The button is also useful for blind users who might want to get rid of all the extra elements in the HTML page around the player and be left just with the player on its own.
Its important to note, that if you have pop-up blocker enabled, then you'll need to disable the pop-up blocker in order to open this new window.
Expand/Shrink button:
The label of the button toggles depending on the current selection. Clicking the expand/shrink button makes the video player larger and smaller.
This button also increases the video quality when you expand the player, and uses a lower quality when you shrink it if the video has multiple qualities.
Time elapsed/total duration:
This section shows the total time elapsed over the total duration of the video. It shows you how much of the video has played already and how much there's still left to play.
Note: To replay the video, click on the "play" button after the video stops playing.

lightbulb icon Please note: The experience of using YouTube may not be same with all screen readers due to inconsistency of support of technology by the various screen readers. To learn more about using YouTube with a screen reader that supports Adobe Flash accessibility extensions, please see this accessibility feedback page.
Read on to learn more about using YouTube with a screen-reader and discover which keyboard shortcuts are available for the site:
Creating a YouTube account
A Google account is needed to sign in to YouTube (ex. Gmail or Calendar etc.). If you do not have a Google account then you can go ahead and create one using the following steps:
Go to www.youtube.com
Click the "create account" link (located at the top of the page after the search button).
Complete the requested steps. Once you've signed up you'll have an account and can get started.
Having an account allows you to sign into YouTube and take advantage of YouTube's community features. You can upload videos, comment on videos, save videos to playlists etc.. These are just a few of the benefits of signing up for a YouTube account. You do not need to sign in to use some basic features of YouTube. Such as, searching for videos, viewing videos etc..
Searching YouTube and Search Results
Searching for YouTube videos
Navigate to www.youtube.com
Navigate to the search edit box at the top of the page.
Please note: Though the search edit box does not have a label, it is located at the top of the page, has a search button after it, and is the only edit box on this page.
Type a search term and press enter.
Search results
The search results page has a "did you mean" section which suggests proper words if you misspelled the word(s).
Prior to the search results, various sorting options are provided to help you sort through the results.
Each of the search results has the following information:
A title of the video along with the duration of the video which is a link and a graphic. Hence, navigating using graphics would help navigating to and through the results quicker. Clicking on this will play the video.
A "+" sign which is link. Clicking on this will play the video as well.
The text "added to queue".
The title of the video which is also a link. Clicking on it will play the video as well.
A snippet of the video.
Name of the individual who posted the video.
How many years ago the video was uploaded and the number of views it has had so far.
Sometimes you will find a heading level 2, "Related searches" with heading level 3s below it. These are other search categories related to the search term(s) you typed. Clicking any of these search categories will take you to another page which has video results for that category.
The YouTube Flash Player
Once you click one of the search results, the flash player will load and the video will start playing automatically. Here are the components and layout of the flash player:
Section headers:
H1 for the title of the video
H4 for "highest rated comments", "all comments", and "suggestions".
The flash player has the following components:
Subtitles:
If a video has subtitles then the subtitles are placed at the top of the video. The subtitles section begins with the text "subtitles start" followed by two lines of subtitles and end with the text "subtitles end". If the subtitles are on, the screen reader should say "Subtitles Loaded". If the subtitles are off, press the "Subtitles Unloaded" button, the button should change to "Subtitles Loading". Then after two seconds or so it should speak "Subtitles Loaded". From that point on the subtitles will appear at the beginning of the Flash player.
Play/pause button:
The button text toggles based on the current status of the video.
Seek slider:
The seek slider is used to fast forward or rewind the video and to increase or decrease the volume. To use the seek slider, first turn off virtual cursor then tab to the slider.
Use left/right arrow keys to fast forward/rewind the video and use the up/down arrow keys to increase/decrease volume.
Mute/unmute: This button toggles depending on whether the video is muted or not muted.
360p button:
This button changes the quality of the video in terms of pixels. Here are the available resolutions: 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p (default), 240p, 240p Light
Pop-out button:
The pop-out button creates a new browser window and places only the player with the video that is currently playing. It leaves out all the content that is outside the actual player. This allows users to resize the player any way they like.
lightbulb icon The button is also useful for blind users who might want to get rid of all the extra elements in the HTML page around the player and be left just with the player on its own.
Its important to note, that if you have pop-up blocker enabled, then you'll need to disable the pop-up blocker in order to open this new window.
Expand/Shrink button:
The label of the button toggles depending on the current selection. Clicking the expand/shrink button makes the video player larger and smaller.
This button also increases the video quality when you expand the player, and uses a lower quality when you shrink it if the video has multiple qualities.
Time elapsed/total duration:
This section shows the total time elapsed over the total duration of the video. It shows you how much of the video has played already and how much there's still left to play.
Note: To replay the video, click on the "play" button after the video stops playing.

Video Player Error Message
Video player error message
If you’re getting a player error message, most of the time, the video should start working again in about 30 minutes. This error can sometimes happen if the uploader is making changes to the video, there’s an issue with your Internet connection speed, or the video is being removed or having other issues.
What you can do
Try again after 30 minutes
In most cases, the video should start working again in about 30 minutes. If that doesn’t work, try the following tips.
Reload the page
On many browsers, you can press the F5 key or Command+R keys on your keyboard to reload the current page.
Change your video’s quality
Click the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the video player and select a lower quality setting, like 240p or 360p. Wait for the buffer bar to start loading before clicking play in the video player.
Close other tabs or windows
If you have multiple tabs or windows open in your browser, try closing them.
Upgrade your browser
If you'd like the best YouTube viewing experience, upgrade to the most recent version of your browser.
Update your Flash Player
Most videos on YouTube are streamed through Adobe Flash Player, a plug-in for your web browser, so make sure to update to the latest version.
Turn on JavaScript
JavaScript is required for many features to work. Make sure JavaScript is enabled on your browser.
Clear your cache and cookies
Clearing your cache and cookies can improve the speed and performance of your browser.
Try viewing the video on a different browser or computer
Video Display Issues
Are you able to hear the audio of a YouTube video, but can’t see it due to one of the following problems?
video player is black, white or green
colors are splotchy
a green line is splitting the player in two
video progress bar is missing or displayed incorrectly
You Can Also Try These Things
Disable Hardware Accelaration
Update your Graphics Driver
Video is Choppy Or Ends Early
If a video doesn’t play continuously (it stops and starts while you’re watching), or stops early, try these troubleshooting steps:
Check your internet connection. You'll need a broadband connection with at least 500 Kbps for the best viewing experience.
Change the video quality to a lower setting to see if the video begins to load.
Pause the video, then change the quality. Allow the gray bar at the bottom of the player to load. Try playing the video again.
If the video still doesn’t load, clear your browser’s cache and cookies and try viewing the video again.
No Sound on Videos
If you don't hear sound when playing a YouTube video, try these troubleshooting steps:
Adjust the volume on your computer and speakers.
Adjust the volume control located in the lower left corner of the YouTube video player.
Restart your browser.
Try turning up the volume for other video players (like Quicktime, Real Player, or Windows Media player).
If you still have no sound after completing the steps above, these additional tips may help:
Update your Flash Player to the latest version.
Allow third-party Flash content on your computer. Learn more by visiting Adobe’s help page.
Check any Antivirus and Firewall software to see if its blocking third-party Flash content.
Make Sure your Browser is Up to Date
Surfing the web on an old browser can be a lot like running a steam engine along the tracks of a bullet train--it may still work, but it doesn't take advantage of the speed and security of the new technology.
If you’re not using the most up-to-date version of your browser, you’ll still be able to watch YouTube videos, but you may have problems using YouTube’s newer features.
Black Bars on Videos
Black bars on videos
You may notice some widescreen videos that have black bars on all sides. Here’s why this formatting may appear:
The video file includes horizontal black bars (letterboxing) at the top and bottom of the video player in order to fit a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Our 16:9 aspect ratio player then adds vertical black bars (pillarboxing) to fit a 4:3 formatted video to YouTube player dimensions.
The end result is black bars all around the video (windowboxing).
If you’re uploading widescreen videos, you can avoid windowboxing by cropping your video to the 16:9 format.
JavaScript or Flash Player error
If you're receiving the following error: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player," it means that you either have JavaScript turned off in your browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari), or you need to install the latest version of the Adobe Flash player.
To find out how to enable JavaScript, visit the help resources for your browser to find instructions.

Change the video quality to a lower setting to see if the video begins to load.
Pause the video, then change the quality. Allow the gray bar at the bottom of the player to load. Try playing the video again.
If the video still doesn’t load, clear your browser’s cache and cookies and try viewing the video again.
No Sound on Videos
If you don't hear sound when playing a YouTube video, try these troubleshooting steps:
Adjust the volume on your computer and speakers.
Adjust the volume control located in the lower left corner of the YouTube video player.
Restart your browser.
Try turning up the volume for other video players (like Quicktime, Real Player, or Windows Media player).
If you still have no sound after completing the steps above, these additional tips may help:
Update your Flash Player to the latest version.
Allow third-party Flash content on your computer. Learn more by visiting Adobe’s help page.
Check any Antivirus and Firewall software to see if its blocking third-party Flash content.
Make Sure your Browser is Up to Date
Surfing the web on an old browser can be a lot like running a steam engine along the tracks of a bullet train--it may still work, but it doesn't take advantage of the speed and security of the new technology.
If you’re not using the most up-to-date version of your browser, you’ll still be able to watch YouTube videos, but you may have problems using YouTube’s newer features.
Black Bars on Videos
Black bars on videos
You may notice some widescreen videos that have black bars on all sides. Here’s why this formatting may appear:
The video file includes horizontal black bars (letterboxing) at the top and bottom of the video player in order to fit a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Our 16:9 aspect ratio player then adds vertical black bars (pillarboxing) to fit a 4:3 formatted video to YouTube player dimensions.
The end result is black bars all around the video (windowboxing).
If you’re uploading widescreen videos, you can avoid windowboxing by cropping your video to the 16:9 format.
JavaScript or Flash Player error
If you're receiving the following error: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player," it means that you either have JavaScript turned off in your browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari), or you need to install the latest version of the Adobe Flash player.
To find out how to enable JavaScript, visit the help resources for your browser to find instructions.
Video Not Available in my Country
Video not available in my country
Some YouTube videos may not be available in your country for the following reasons:
Video owners have chosen to make their content available only to certain countries (usually due to licensing rights)
YouTube may block specific content in order to comply with local laws
Videos Wont Play
Videos won’t play
Here are some of the most common problems playing a video:
video doesn’t start (load)
video loads slowly
video gets stuck
video player is blank with no video
Problem not listed above? If the video is playing, but just not displaying correctly, read these tips on fixing video display issues.
Specific videos won’t play
If you’re able to watch some videos, but not others, below are a few troubleshooting tips that may fix the issue. After trying each tip, check whether the video will play.
Refresh your browser's page.
Change your video's quality to a lower setting. Wait for the buffer bar to start growing before clicking play in the video player and switching back to your preferred setting.
Upgrade your browser to the most recent version.
Update your Flash Player to the latest version.
Clear cache and cookies and restart your browser before accessing your video again.
Enable Javascript in your browser.
No videos play
If you’ve tried viewing a number of videos and none of them play, try these additional troubleshooting steps:
Change Firewall Settings
Temporary Disable Ad Or Pop Up Blocker Software

Instagram Direct
Instagram Direct
Today, Instagram Is excited to bring you Instagram Direct, a new way to send photo and video messages to friends.
Over the past three years, the Instagram community has grown to over 150 million people capturing and sharing moments all around the globe. As we’ve grown, Instagram has evolved not only into a community of photographers, but also into a means of visual communication. From a photo of your daily coffee to a sunrise shared from the top of a mountain hike, every Instagram moment contains something you find special—something you broadcast to your followers when you tap “share.”
There are, however, moments in our lives that we want to share, but that will be the most relevant only to a smaller group of people—an inside joke between friends captured on the go, a special family moment or even just one more photo of your new puppy. Instagram Direct helps you share these moments.
From how you capture photos and videos to the way you start conversations through likes and comments, we built Instagram Direct to feel natural to the Instagram experience you already know. When you open Instagram, you’ll now see a new icon in the top right corner of your home feed. Tap it to open your inbox where you’ll see photos and videos that people have sent to you. To send a photo or video to specific people, tap the camera button to enter the same simple photo or video capture and editing screens. At the top of the share screen, you’ll see the option to share with your followers (“Followers”) or to send to specific people (“Direct”). To send using Direct, tap the names of the people you want to send your photo or video to, write your caption, tap “send” and you’re done.
After sending, you’ll be able to find out who’s seen your photo or video, see who’s liked it and watch your recipients commenting in real time as the conversation unfolds.
Photos and videos that you receive from people you follow will appear immediately. If someone you’re not following sends you a photo or video on Instagram, it will go to your requests so you can decide if you want to view it.
How Do i Use Direct
Instagram Direct lets you send a photo or video to a select group of people. Posts won’t appear in feed, search or your profile.
To send photos/videos with Instagram Direct:
Take a new photo/video or upload a photo/video from your camera roll.
Add optional effects, filters and a caption.
Tap Direct. You’ll see some features appear in green when you’re using Instagram Direct.
Tap the names of people you want to send the photo/video to (up to 15 people).
Tap Send.
The people you've sent the post to will get a notification. To see posts you've sent with Instagram Direct, tap in the top right of your Home feed.
Can i Use Instagram Direct to Send Posts to People im Not Following ?
Yes, you can send a photo or video to anyone when you use Instagram Direct. If you send a post to someone who doesn’t follow you, your post will go to their requests queue.

If someone you don’t follow sends you a post, it’ll go to your requests queue. From there, you can choose to accept the request into your direct posts or to ignore it by tapping x. You can also tap Ignore All to ignore all requests at one time. When you accept requests, future posts sent to with you from that person will go to your direct posts.
Keep in mind that posts that stay in your requests queue may become unavailable after a while.
How Do i Report a Post that Was Sent to Me or Block Someone From Sending Posts to Me

Key Safety Tips For Instagram Direct
