Upload a media file from any of the available media attachment options like Media Library, Cloud Picker, etc., or create a Story using Canva or Zoho Social's Image Editor. You can add any enhancements to it like stickers, text, and filters, and then publish or schedule it to go live for a specific time. You can publish Stories to Facebook if you're on pricing plans Standard and above.

Changes to Instagram Video Publishing  

Earlier, you were able to publish a video to Instagram as a Reel if you tick the checkbox displayed in the compose window. Currently, if you're publishing a single video in a post to your Instagram account, it'll automatically be published as a Reel, and the checkbox won't be displayed for Instagram publishing. Whereas if you're publishing to your Facebook page, you'll have the option to either publish it as a Reel or a post. 

We're also thrilled about our latest social media initiative that went live this month:

Social Sessions  

Social Sessions is a really interesting series of videos where we'll be sharing with you some insights, tips, and knowledge provided by social media experts. These are shared in the form of short videos to ensure that you get an overview of the message within the short time span. 
In our first episode of #SocialSessions, social media coach and educator Jera Bean talks about long-form content vs short-form content and which works better for each platform. 

In the second episode, Ben Amos, Founder of EngageVideo Marketing, talks about how you can create videos for social media strategically and with a purpose to get better results.
