Hi there,
Here are some troubleshooting tips:
Double-check that the link you’re pasting from Instagram isn’t hyperlinked.
And as stated in the video, make sure to place the link or shortcode on its own line.

Hey
Would you like to have a look at some of the problems I’m encountering on this post?India, here are top 5 posts to help & educate yourselves about #AmazonFire crisis!
1. The Instagram links don’t show up as posts but links only
2. The text should not extend more than the width of the screen it is being viewed in. The first paragraph has works m weirds for which you have to scroll sideways.
3. Some letters in a word are showing up in different font than the keys following it.
4. The spaces I originally left between lines have been manipulated weirdly in the original web page of the post.
Kindly help.

Hm, I see what you mean.
Have you tried changing the theme?
Let’s see if Staff can pick up something unusual on the backend.

Everything in that post seems to have been copied in with
spanelements containing their own styles, which is causing most of the layout problems.They’re also breaking the embeds, as the editor anticipates just straight-pasted URLs with no additional styling.
Was this post copies and pasted from elsewhere? If so, that would explain why the styles followed all of the elements.
In cases like this, I find it just better to delete all of the content and re-type the post in the editor.

I typed it all myself in my Google Docs and pasted it from there.
The URLs world of course be copied from the insta posts. What additional stilling does a share link should have? -

Your Instagram embeds are not working because those blocks all contain more than just an Instagram link. Under heading 3, for example, it appears more information was manually added inside the embed block in the HTML view, breaking the block.
Under heading 4, the Instagram link is not even in an embed block, but in a classic block along with other content, and inside a HTML paragraph rather than on its own line.
The first two links do appear to be correctly added in their own blocks, but it’s possible they’re breaking because of the other two links that aren’t added correctly.
Instagram embeds will only work if the Instagram link is pasted inside an embed block, and no further manual changes are made to the block. Or in a classic block is the Instagram link is entirely on a new line, and in this case that means press Return, paste the link, and press Return again. If you use Shift-Return to create a single line break it means the next line is still in the same paragraph, and the embed won’t work.
Remove all those Instagram links from the post, and add each one back inside its own embed block, then update the post.
