The world of social media never stops evolving, and neither does ZoomSphere.
From now on, you can schedule and publish Instagram Reels from ZoomSphere's Scheduler app! 🥳
There are two ways to publish your Reels in ZoomSphere:
Automatic
Manual via ZoomSphere mobile app
Automatic Publishing
ZoomSphere will automatically publish your Reels at the scheduled time once you approve your Reel with the Approved status.
To auto-publish, your Reels need to be completed. It is not possible to add trendy songs, stickers, mentions, etc., and it also needs to meet the technical requirements set by Instagram.💡
Technical Requirements: Automatic publishing
Duration: 3 sec - 90 sec

Audio codec: AAC
Audio bitrate: 128kbps
