In brief

You’ll learn how to add clickable links to Instagram Stories using either an IGTV video or a swipe-up URL sticker. The URL link method now works for all accounts, but IGTV links still require a separate upload. Best for creators or businesses looking to drive traffic from Stories.

Questions & answers

Do I need 10k followers to use URL links?

No—the creator says the swipe-up URL sticker is now available to everyone.

Description from the creator

You can add links to Instagram stories in two ways. IGTV link or URL link.

New Update: The swipe up link is now a link sticker and it's available to everyone, regardless of the follower account. youtu.be/_qIQ5AvFKSg

Link 1: The first type of link is an IGTV link that will send people to an IGTV video. To make these, you have to create an IGTV channel and upload a video to it. Here is the video for that.

Link 2: The second link is a URL link. This can be used to send people to a website, blog, or YouTube video outside of Instagram.
You do however need two things for this. 1: you need 10k followers and you need to turn your personal page into a business page.
