Posting Reels regularly on Instagram boosts reach and engagement - what better place to connect with your audience? Socialive Integrations allows you to publish recorded content to Instagram Reels seamlessly. 

Pre-Setup

The following must be set up in Instagram and Facebook for the integration with Instagram to work correctly.

1. If it is not already, Instagram users must convert their account to a Professional account

3. Connect that Page to their Instagram account from Facebook. In Facebook, follow these steps:

   1. Go to the Facebook page within the professional account

   2. Go to Professional Dashboard
