The plugin has many different choices for what to show when using a business account on the page from your user account, a public hashtag, tagged posts, or a mix of those options.
If adding to a page you can add an Instagram Feed block for showing the content on a specific page, for widgets there is a dedicated widget, or the plugin even offers shortcodes should you have a custom location for your site. If you would prefer to change the way the feed is displayed then under Instagram Feed, Settings, Customize and the plugin has different built-in display methods to choose from.
