How to Add and Set Up the Instagram Widget on Your Form

February 26, 2026

Jotform’s Instagram widget lets you display your Instagram feed right inside your form—perfect for showcasing your latest posts, sharing product shots, or adding some visual personality. It’s a simple way to make your form more engaging, connect with your audience, and give them a glimpse of what’s happening on your Instagram without leaving the page.

Here are a few ways to use it:

  • Display Your Instagram Feed on a Form — You can use the Instagram widget to showcase your latest posts directly inside your form. This helps reinforce your brand identity and keeps your form visually engaging.
  • Promote Social Media Engagement — The widget encourages users to visit and follow your Instagram profile. By placing it strategically, you can increase followers and boost engagement.
  • Showcase Products or Portfolio Work — Businesses and creatives can use the widget to highlight product photos, event coverage, or portfolio images. This gives users visual context while they complete the form.
  • Add Social Proof to Registration or Order Forms — Displaying real Instagram content can build trust and credibility. Seeing active posts and customer interactions can make users feel more confident about engaging with your brand.

Note

The Instagram widget displays individual Instagram posts in your form using the post’s URL, allowing you to showcase specific content directly within your form.
