How to Download Video from Instagram.

 
Instagram introduced feature of sharing short fifteen second videos recently. It is a welcome addition to the Instagram app that before it was the best known for sharing picture . Videos for Instagram has been a hit, and effectively been the worst nightmare of other popular short video sharing app Vine.

Now,  Instagram already the poplar way of sharing videos . There're several videos uploaded that you want to download. Since these types of videos are obviously not Youtube videos there is no download tool just as yet. However, we are  sure an Android app will come eventually which will download these videos for free, easily. Until that , here is a method how you can download any video from  Instagram.
I have tested this method in Google Chrome browser, and it was working.
 
Step 1:

The first thing You should have Instagram account obiviously. Now, select video to be downloaded. After selection,now open your Instagram feed on the web browser (advice: CHROME) on your computer. To do that simply sign in- Instagram here .
