It's possible :D
Just use an app like this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paijwar.videolivewallpaper&hl=en
And set the mp4 file as the live wallpaper. To download the video off instagram, you can use xposed module Xinsta or one of the dozen apps available on playstore for that purpose.
There are a few video live wallpapers on Play. One I used to use (can't find it now) supported playlists. All I had to do was get tasker to change that playlist to videos I wanted and whalla.

a nice live wallpaper I made with my thief from Guildwars2 :)
used :
GeForce Experience (to start GW2 in 3840x2160 supersampled all options maxed)
Dxtory (screen capture)
TEncoder (to crop and convert the captured footage)
Video Live Wallpaper Pro (the actual Android video live wallpaper app)
the final video is 30fps 1080x1920 8000kbps mp4 and runs smoothly on my Nexus 5.
disclaimer : doing this might kill your battery :D
Posted this in the SC FB group originally, but figured Redditors would enjoy them too.Here are downloadable Videos in a Google Drive sized to work namely for Note 9 phones, but another phone that has the same screen resolution or aspect ratio should be able to enjoy them as well:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Lmp-_dH2eiw3LWv3avXfaH4NLs_jcdIE?fbclid=IwAR2ddUUbV41FnVnUr9xMxOhSqdqZbipG2RcZY6OrRY846yzcafmhqQZUErY
Some phones can use the video as Live Wallpaper natively, otherwise you'll need a Video Live Wallpaper app, this one is the one I use and it works:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paijwar.videolivewallpaper

This is what I use. I just download a video from YouTube to my phone and pull it up from my gallery with that
The app is probably not on Android then. Try to use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paijwar.videolivewallpaper
If you can find a video that is similar, give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paijwar.videolivewallpaper
I haven't used it, but heard about it on a podcast.
