STEP-BY-STEP -- The Process:

So, how do you embed your Instagram posts, you ask? Here are the simple, easy steps and a quick tip video to help you. To embed Instagram content you need to first visit the post on the web and get the embed code.

Go to the post URL if you have it, or you can go to https://www.instagram.com/[username] and then click the post to expand it. Click the more [...] button and select "Embed"
This will open a dialog where you can get the HTML embed code. Simply copy the code into your website and the embedded post will automatically load. By default the post contains the media caption. You can decide to hide it by simply unchecking the caption option in the Embed button dialog.
Embedded posts are responsive and automatically resize if the embedding container becomes smaller. This means that the content will look great both on desktop and mobile websites.
