  • No ability to comment on Instagram photos or videos  – you must go to Instagram to do this
  • No ability to add hashtags on content you embed from Instagram – you must go to Instagram for this

Kudos to Instagram for making this process extremely easy. The process for embedding Instagram photos and videos is exactly the same – and it’s something you can do in 4 easy steps.
