Instagram is telling me my post has been shared, but it isn't showing on my page?

I usually post with my phone, but today I finally figured out how to post using a laptop.

My first post, posted fine, but the second post I tried it twice and NOTHING.

It says it posted, but it doesn't auto appear in my feed like on the mobile app. It makes me click a little X, and when I go back to my page, the post isn't there😕

I did have a large video file attached to it, but then why would it tell me my post has been shared when it hasn't?

Please help because I'm about to smash my computer!
