In the Instagram app, tap to Add a Story.

Select or record the video you want to add to your story. To select multiple items, tap and hold the first item.
You can also select multiple still photos, and Instagram rolls through them during the story, giving each one a set amount of time to show.
-
Once you make your selections, you move on to the editing screen where you can add filters, sound, links, stickers, drawings, text, and more.

Click the link icon at the top of the page and then click URL.

Type or paste the URL into the field provided and then click Done.

When you share your story, there's a See More option at the bottom of the page where users can "swipe up" to see the clickable link.
