Feature: Publishing To Facebook Stories

Overview

We are thrilled to announce that you can publish to Facebook Stories. This feature allows you to post photos and videos to Facebook Stories effortlessly. This guide will walk you through the process of using Facebook Stories and outline the key differences between Facebook Stories, Reels, and regular posts.

Why Use Facebook Stories?

Facebook Stories offers a more personal and intimate way to engage with your existing audience. It appears prominently at the top of your feed and is ideal for behind-the-scenes content or less polished, casual updates. Remember, Stories are temporary and disappear after 24 hours.

Posting to Facebook Stories

Posting Images to Facebook Stories:

1. Choosing the Right Image & Format:
   • Opt for vertical mode images taken with your phone for optimal display.
   • You can also upload images in standard 1080×1080 dimensions.
2. Creating a Story:
   • Enter the publishing section and select the Facebook profile for your Story.
   • Do not add text, as Stories do not support this feature.
   • Upload the chosen image. Note that only one image can be added per Story.
3. Publishing the Story:
   • Enable the ‘Stories' switch in the publishing options.
   • Disable any unnecessary options like attached media.
   • Once configured, post your Story. It will appear for 4 seconds before moving to the next item in the Story sequence.

Posting Videos to Facebook Stories:

1. Preparing Your Video:
   • Make sure your video is in vertical format.
   • Videos in Facebook Stories cannot exceed 60 seconds.
