Insta Videos not displaying

I’m trying to post an insta video but the automatic thing where it converts the link into an embedded video just says to login without the video. Here’s an example

Am I doing something wrong? Seems to be working for some but not for me

This was happening the other day as well

It looks like the canonical URL is forcing a redirect to login on some of them. Not sure what makes certain instagram accounts / pictures do that versus others?

At least for me that happened when my account was private

If you view source on the page, this is the problem

<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.instagram.com/opyoyos/p/B7MfrSNhS-M/caption/heres-the-first-of-3-tricks-you-gotta-learn-to" />

That redirects to a login page.

My account is public and I am having the same issue with my links directing to the login page

This is fixed in the main code but needs a deployment here. We ignore the canonical “redirect to login” meta-tag that instagram adds because… well, it’s busted if we don’t.
