Videos in Instagram Notes: Instagram, a platform owned by Meta, is currently in the process of testing a new feature that will enable users to update their profile picture with short or looping videos in Notes. This new development was briefly demonstrated by Instagram's head, Adam Mosseri, in a video shared on his broadcast channel.

Adding Videos to Your Profile Picture

The upcoming feature will allow users to refresh their default profile photo in notes with a brief looping video. Notably, users will still have the option to include a text message alongside the video. Mosseri encouraged users to provide feedback when they start seeing these profile videos in notes.

In the demo video, a new camera icon is shown on the profile picture, which users can use to record and post a video within Notes.

In a move inspired by Elon Musk-owned X, Instagram is also exploring a new feed that permits posts exclusively from paid verified users. This means that users with verified accounts who pay for this feature will have a dedicated feed for their content.

According to Mosseri, this feature is being explored as a way to provide more control for users and to assist businesses and creators in gaining more visibility on the platform.
