Instagram Testing Video Tagging

Instagram is testing out a new video feature with select users. According to a recent article in TechCrunch, the social media giant is experimenting with a way for people to tag other users in videos that they post. These videos will have an icon in the bottom left indicating that someone is tagged in the post. When clicked, users will be redirected to a new page with a list of people who have been tagged.
