Support Instagram Accounts in Dynamic Videos

Hi Jaansi, thanks for the request. Using Instagram accounts as dynamic video backgrounds makes sense, especially for more visual, brand-forward outreach.
To scope this properly, can you share a bit more detail on what you mean by “Instagram accounts” as a background?
1) Which view should we capture: profile page, a specific post/reel, the grid, or the latest post automatically?
2) Would you want to pass in an @handle (ex: @brand) and have Sendspark resolve it, or would you provide a URL to the profile/post?
3) Do you need this to work for private accounts, or only public accounts?
4) Should the background be a static snapshot, or should it be a live/scrolling capture?
5) Any specific elements you want included or excluded (bio, follower counts, highlights, captions, comments)?
6) How would you use it in dynamic videos: one account per recipient, or a shared account across a campaign?
Also, are you primarily looking for this to work in the same way LinkedIn backgrounds work today (a rendered preview of the page), or are you envisioning pulling Instagram media directly (images/videos) into the background?
If you can answer the above and share one or two example Instagram accounts/URLs plus your ideal end result, we can evaluate feasibility and the best approach.
