Video content is dominating the social media space. From YouTube Shorts to Instagram Reels, video content on social channels is some of the most popular content. It’s important to incorporate video content into your social marketing strategy, but that’s easier said than done. From filming to editing & customizing content across platforms, this takes a ton of time and effort for social media managers.

With PLANOLY, you can auto-post your video content in a variety of ways. With auto-posting videos, you’ll have the freedom to plan more than just images ahead of time. This means you’ll be able to upload video content into PLANOLY, select a date and time and schedule it to auto-publish onto the social platform you choose. Right now, PLANOLY allows auto-posting videos for TikTok, Instagram & Pinterest in a few different ways.

If you’re looking to focus primarily on Instagram Reels, you can link your Instagram and access our Instagram visual planning workspace. There are some guidelines to be aware of to make sure you’re able to use auto-posting. These restrictions are set in place by Instagram. Read on below to learn everything you need to know.
