From now on, you can schedule and publish Facebook Reels from ZoomSphere's Scheduler app! 🥳
Publishing
There are two ways to publish your Reels in ZoomSphere:

Manual via ZoomSphere mobile app
1. 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 Reel video needs to be completed (video & music) 👉 It is not possible to add trendy reel items such as songs, stickers, mentions, etc., and it also needs to meet the technical requirements set by Meta.💡
Technical Requirements for Auto-publishing

File Type: MP4
Aspect Ratio: 9x16
Resolution: 1080 x 1920 pixels (recommended). Minimum is 540 x 960 pixels

Frame Rate: 24 to 60 FPS (frames per second)
