An Instagram carousel is a single feed post that combines up to 10 photos and videos. In Loomly, add the media for an Instagram post, set its order, and choose a publishing workflow.
Create an Instagram carousel in Loomly
- Create a post in Loomly and select Instagram.
- Add the photos and videos for the carousel.
- Open Fine-Tune Content for Instagram to add more than one video or change the media order.
- Review the carousel media, then choose the next status for the post.
Use Fine-Tune Content to manage carousel media
Fine-Tune Content is where you can add additional videos to an Instagram carousel and change the order of the media files. Use this step when the carousel needs more than one video or when you want to adjust the sequence before publishing.
If the post includes more than one social channel, media added in Generic Content applies to all selected channels. Media you customize in Fine-Tune Content for Instagram applies to Instagram instead. To return to the generic media for Instagram, use Reset media changes in the Fine-Tune Content panel.
Choose a publishing workflow
When the carousel is ready, you can schedule the post, send it for approval, save it as a draft, or publish it now.
Direct and manual publishing
Instagram publishing availability depends on the connected account and whether the media meets Instagram's requirements. If a carousel needs to be published manually, select Publish Manually in Fine-Tune Content. Loomly sends a push notification at the selected time; open the post in Loomly and complete publishing in Instagram.
