How to schedule an Instagram carousel post
1. Click Create → New post to open the scheduling window.
2. Make sure that Instagram is selected on the list of social profiles.
3. Type in your text in the content field and click the video or image icon to add your media.
4. Choose how you'd like to add your images or video. Check out this article on how to attach images and videos to your posts.
5. Once all the videos/images are uploaded, you may click on each image to tag Instagram users.
|
Note You can only tag public profiles; if a private profile is tagged, the post will not publish successfully. User tags can be added to each image separately |
6. Once you are done adding the media and tagging users, click the grid preview icon to see how it looks when published to the social profile.
7. Finish your post by scheduling a time you want the post to get published and you're all set!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I post more than 10 media items on an Instagram Carousel?
A: No, the Meta API only provides a way for tools like Vista Social to auto-publish up to 10 media items to Instagram with carousels right now. Posting more than 10 is only possible directly through the Instagram app.
Q: Why are all my carousel images cropped except my first image?
A: Meta's API crops all carousel images based on the first image of the carousel. This isn't something Vista Social can override or change.
