To start, I opened Instagram on my smart device and also here's what I saw:


It's a bit complicated, yet the switch on the bottom that's highlighted in blue? That's not the present view you have, even though that's absolutely a common interface convention. You get on the major feed which is accessed by the home button on the reduced left. Odd, I understand.

Faucet on the camera symbol on the bottom-- center!-- with heaven highlight. Currently your camera will turn on and you'll see a sneak peek of the photo you will take:


To take a photo, faucet on the blue switch. To earn a (short) video, faucet on the video camera symbol to the right of the button.
