If you have an iPhone, you can use the Storeo app (available in the App Store) to combat the 15-second breaks that Instagram Stories uses for video. You can record a longer video in the Storeo app, and then cut the video into 15-second slices to be uploaded to Instagram Stories. The Storeo slices run much more smoothly than recording 15-second videos in Instagram Stories directly.
