How to schedule Content to Post to your Instagram Stories

What are Instagram Stories?
Instagram Stories are temporary, high-impact posts (photos or videos) that appear at the top of your followers' feeds and disappear after 24 hours. They are perfect for sharing "in-the-moment" updates, behind-the-scenes looks, and quick tips to keep your brand top-of-mind. π€³
Content Requirements
For each story, you can upload:
One Still Photo πΌοΈ
One Video (must be under 60 seconds) π₯
π‘ Pro Tips for Instagram Success
No Clickable Links: Standard Story posts do not support clickable links in the text. π
No Captions: While you can add a caption during the creation process for your records, Instagram Stories will not display that text on the screen. To include text on your Story, we recommend adding it directly to your image or video file before uploading. βοΈ
