We heard that watching reels together is more enjoyable, and this test will help us learn which features make that experience work best on TV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instagram for TV is available now in the US on Amazon Fire TV devices, and we\u2019ll expand the app to more countries and devices in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Get Started<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-46411 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg?resize=960%2C540\" alt=\"The account selection screen on Instagram for TV\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg?w=1920 1920w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01_IGTV.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, install the Instagram app on your Amazon Fire TV and sign in to your account. You can also set up Instagram for TV through the Settings and activity menu in the mobile app. You can add up to five accounts on Instagram for TV, so everyone in your home can enjoy a personalized way to watch reels. You can also create a separate Instagram for TV account that isn\u2019t linked to your profile in a few simple steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Explore Reels in Channels<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-46412 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg?resize=960%2C540\" alt=\"The homepage for Instagram for TV showing a reels selection menu\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg?w=1920 1920w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02_IGTV.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you log in, reels will be grouped into channels that match your interests, including new music, sports highlights, hidden travel gems, trending moments, and more.

Time spent on Instagram for TV contributes to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/09\/instagram-teen-accounts\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teen Account<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019s usage limit alongside their mobile app usage, and teens may receive the same reminders about approaching or reaching those limits or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2023\/01\/instagram-quiet-mode-manage-your-time-and-focus\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sleep mode<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re learning and planning to improve Instagram for TV based on your feedback.
