Important Recording Tips for IGTV Audio
Before I get into the demo I want to make sure to highlight a few key points about turning IGTV videos or lives into podcast content.
You can record on your phone AND on your podcaster mic at the same time, or you can pick up a compatible mic for your phone for better quality audio.
If you don’t have a mic, make sure that when you’re recording you’re in a quiet space with no background noise. Keep your phone steady or on a tripod so that it doesn’t capture any rustling sounds
.
Follow the steps above for a great sounding podcast if possible!
During recording with a guest, make sure to not speak over one another, otherwise you’ll have almost inaudible sound to work with and you’ll have to cut it all out. The echo cancellation software that Instagram uses will muffle you if your guest is too loud and vice versa.
Don’t use airpods or bluetooth headphones! Just stick with the mic in the phone, or wired headphones that come with the phone that also include a mic. Bluetooth headphones notoriously cut out.

Downloading Your IG Live Videos
There are three ways to download your IG Live Videos to turn them into podcast episodes:
- Download the video immediately after recording from Instagram (best way)
- Download the video using an app called ClipGrab (featured in this tutorial)
- Download the video using a web browser 3rd party software that is sketchy and weird and comes with a lot of popups.
If you forget to download your video after recording directly from Instagram, I’ve found that ClipGrab will give you the best output when you download your videos. The other web-based apps have a weird encoding, which means that when you go in to edit them, they’re either super slowed down or super sped up. It’s a nightmare to edit! Although not impossible.
