To connect an Instagram account, go to Master Account settings and hit the Add Instagram account button:

To connect your Instagram account, ensure your account meets these conditions:

  1. Instagram Professional Account (Business or Creator) ✅

  2. Instagram account is successfully connected to the Facebook Page you manage as Admin/Editor or have Facebook Access full control

  3. Business Integration enabled for ZoomSphere ✅

  4. Two-factor authentication is set accordingly ✅

1. Instagram Professional Account enabled ✅

Instagram account needs to be in a professional mode – Creator or Business.

  • If your account is a Personal type of account, you can just switch it to the professional one.

  • Go to your Instagram account and click on the menu Settings and privacy Account type and tools Switch to professional account. Then choose Set as Business or Creator Account Switch → Done

2. Instagram Account is connected to a Facebook Page ✅

Your Instagram account must be linked with a Facebook page you manage as Admin or Editor or have Facebook Access full control. If your Instagram Account does not have a Facebook Page, you can create a private page (not a public one) and use it for connection purposes only. 💡

  • Switch to your Page and go to Manage LinkedIn accountsInstagram

  • Facebook Access full control 👇

💡 Possible Connection Fail

  • If you see a grey message with a blue button, Review Connection, that means the connection has failed and needs to be renewed. A person with a Full Access role or the Page Owner can only do this action. 👇

3. Facebook Business Integrations ✅

Please enable ZoomSphere to manage your Instagram account in your personal Facebook account Business Integration settings.

  • Open this link or go to your Facebook Account — Settings & Privacy — Settings — Business Integrations (left panel), find ZoomSphere integration, click View and Edit, and ensure every permission is enabled. 👇

4. Two-factor authentication enabled ✅

If the administrator of your Page requires two-factor authentication, it needs to be set up on your personal Facebook profile as well, as you manage the Facebook page linked with your Instagram account. 🙂 You can read more on this topic here.

Don't forget to Refresh

After each change in the Facebook settings (page roles, connecting an Instagram account to a Facebook page, etc.), refresh your FB account in ZoomSphere to reload all the changes. 💡

If you meet all these requirements given by Instagram and Facebook, your Instagram account should appear on the list. 😊


💡 Sometimes, even if all conditions are met, the account is not visible to you and hence cannot be added to ZoomSphere. If this happens to you, continue here:


If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us via the in-app chat or on our email support@zoomsphere.com 🙂
