Unless I’m making a video in the native Instagram app, I use Wave. like me, you don’t want to do five things to make a video; you want one touch. Pricing: A few free tools are available; paid plans start at $99 per month, all with a 28-day free trial Dropbox Basic is free with 2GB of storage, which you’ll hit quickly if you’re storing videos; paid plans start at $9.99 per month One other tool that I’d be remiss not to mention is PowerPoint.

Now that Instagram has rolled out the functionality to add alt text, you can add it directly to new posts as you upload them or edit any previous post on your profile to add the alt text. When creating a new post, you will add the alt text component to your Instagram posts on the screen where you write your caption and add any other tags to the post. From the pop up screen, you’ll tap on the “Edit” option to open the editing screen for your Instagram post. Once back on the main edit screen for your post, tap on the check mark in the top right corner to save your changes and the new alt text for that post.

And, besides all of that, even with the truncated bio, the first row of images still doesn’t appear wholly on the screen so it didn’t even achieve that outcome (if that was the goal – I came up with a reorganized layout that still conveys essentially the same thing but in a way that better appeals to those first time visitors: So, while a new visitor won’t see all the unique things that make my personality understandable, at least they’ll know who I am professionally at first glance. I would have to edit, go to the preview, go back the edit screen, edit again, go back to the preview screen, and repeat multiple times until I found something that worked. You probably won’t be happy with this new shortened bio either, but you can find a way to make it work for you if you get creative and strategic.

You can edit each one for filters and stickers before doing the full upload and this allows you have the entire story sequence upload together so as to avoid delays in the story viewing in the time it takes you to load, edit, and post each consequent Story. While you still can’t share others’ content to your regular feed, you can share any post to your Stories and that Story post will link back to the original post. While this was designed more for personal use, I outlined a variety of ways businesses could capitalize on this feature in this blog post on Social Media Examiner. So, if you want more insights into setting up and using IGTV for your business, I wrote a highly detailed post on Social Media Examiner that you can use to get yourself up to speed so you can start crafting new content for 2019.
