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 - 15 minutes
File size: 100 MiB maximum
Aspect ratio: between 0.01:1 and 10:1, but we recommend 9:16 to avoid cropping or blank spaces (Maximum columns horizontal pixels: 1920)
Video format: MOV or MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14)
Audio codec: AAC
Audio bitrate: 128kbps
Video codec: HEVC or H264
Frame rate: 23-60 FPS.

❗️ If your Reel exceeds one of the above-mentioned technical requirements, the auto-publishing will be disabled, and enable manual publishing instead. 💡
Manual Publishing
Reels can also be shared easily on Instagram using our mobile app. 👉 Learn more about manual publishing here.
Manual publishing has many perks, such as adding extra fun effects, filters, stickers, and trendy songs that can organically boost your Reels to more views and increase your account reach. 😎
Technical Requirements: Manual via ZS mobile app
