In Vista Social, you can schedule carousel posts with images, videos, or both directly to Instagram. Here's how to create one and what's supported.
How to schedule an Instagram carousel post
1. Click Create → New post to open the scheduling window.
2. Select your Instagram profile in the list of social profiles.
3. Type your caption, then click the image or video icon and choose how to add your media, such as Upload from computer or Choose from library. When you add more than one item, the post type changes to Publish as Carousel.
4. To tag Instagram users, click an image in the preview, then click Tag a user.
Search for the username and select the account.
|
Note You can only tag public profiles. If a private profile is tagged, the post will not publish. User tags are added to each image separately. |
5. Click the grid preview icon to see how the post will look on your profile.
6. Choose Publish now, Schedule, Add to queue, or Save draft, then click Next to finish your post.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many images or videos can I add to an Instagram carousel?
Up to 20 images, videos, or a mix of the two. This limit is set by Instagram's publishing API.
Why are all my carousel images cropped except my first image?
Instagram crops all carousel images based on the first image in the carousel, with a default 1:1 aspect ratio. This is set by Instagram's publishing API, and Vista Social can't override it.
