Free IGTV views
Paste the link of a long public Instagram video and 500 views are sent to it, once every 6 hours. IGTV as a separate app is gone, but long videos still exist, still carry a play count, and still need a first audience.
500 views every 6 hours · No password · Updated
Instagram folded IGTV into the main app a while ago, and long-form video now lives either as an extended Reel or under an older /tv/ address. What did not change is the problem: a fifteen-minute video with eleven plays looks like a video nobody finished, and visitors decide whether to press play by that number. This service moves it.
The target is the link of the video. Older IGTV uploads still answer to instagram.com/tv/ addresses; newer long uploads use /reel/. The form accepts /tv/, /reel/ and /p/ links so that whichever address your video carries, it can be sent here. If the video is short and clearly a Reel, the Reels views service is the more natural fit, though either works.
Views on long video are counted when playback starts, so they arrive as quickly as on short clips. The batch is complete within the hour in most cases. Views do not add likes or comments and they do not change watch time; they raise the play count that visitors and the ranking system see.
Long video is where a view batch is most useful and least sufficient. It gets people to press play; what happens after that is up to the video.

How it works
-
Copy the video link
Share icon or three dots, then Copy link. /tv/, /reel/ and /p/ addresses are all accepted.
-
Check the video is public and processed
Long videos take a while to process after upload. Wait until it plays for you before sending.
-
Pass the check and send
Complete the security check and press send. The play count updates within minutes.
Limits worth knowing
- The form accepts /tv/, /reel/ and /p/ links; the video itself must be a long-form public video.
- One batch per video every 6 hours.
- Views raise the play count only; watch time, likes and comments are unaffected.
- Videos still processing after upload cannot be played and the request fails.
- The account must be public.
Questions
IGTV does not exist any more. Why is this service here?
The app is gone; the videos are not. Long-form uploads still have a play count and still start at zero. The service is named for what people search for.
Which link should I use?
Whichever the share icon gives you. Older videos say /tv/, newer ones say /reel/. Both are accepted.
Is this different from Reels views?
Same kind of view, same delivery. The distinction is which page you found first. For a short clip, use Reels views; for a long one, this.
How fast do views arrive?
Within the hour, often faster.
Do views help a long video get recommended?
They help it get opened. Whether Instagram recommends it further depends on how long people keep watching, which a batch cannot influence.
