Instagram has deprecated the ability to create a standard video post. Instead all videos posted to Instagram are considered Reels. Due to this change, you won't see the option to select a standard post option when publishing videos to your Instagram account.

Reels are short videos you can easily create and enjoy watching on Instagram. They are a fun way to connect with your community over entertaining videos that inspire anyone to join in. It is the best way Creators can find a community that is deeply engaged and aligned with their interests.

With Reels, you can record and edit short videos. Learn how to add music, effects and voiceovers to the clips you record, manage who can see your reels or use your audio, and discover creators on Instagram.
