Apparently Instagram has two different kinds of videos: posts and reels. I don't know all of the differences, but the main one seems to be the URL. TexAgs doesn't support embedding of reels, with URLs like the following:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWXLNErj-c6/

Hopefully this isn't too hard for you guys to add

I'll check out what we can do, but those reels should have post url as well.

Thanks. I tried just replacing "reel" with "p" and it wasn't accepting it. I must have messed it up somehow.

It's good to know that workaround, but it'd be better if TexAgs just accepted the "reel" link as is, since people aren't going to know the workaround.
