How to schedule Instagram Reels
The short answer
Connect the Facebook Page your Instagram professional account is linked to, then open Compose, attach a video, choose the Reel / Short format, tick your Instagram account and pick a date and time. SSS Social posts the Reel to Instagram at that moment.
The same vertical video can go to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and your Facebook Page in the same post, each with its own wording if you like.
How to publish one post to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube at onceWhat Instagram accepts as a Reel
- A video file of up to 300 MB, between 3 seconds and 15 minutes long — Instagram’s own limits.
- A vertical 9:16 video fills the screen; other shapes are accepted but show with bars.
- The composer checks the file against these limits before you schedule and tells you what to change.
Your choices on every Reel
- Caption — written once, or a separate version for Instagram.
- First comment — optional; posted under the Reel straight after it goes out, a common place for hashtags.
- Date and time — any time ahead. The Reel waits on your calendar until then and can be changed or deleted.
How it works, step by step
- Connect Instagram. Under Accounts, connect the Facebook Page your Instagram professional account is linked to; the Instagram account comes with it.
- Attach the video. Open Compose, add your video and choose Reel / Short.
- Tick Instagram. Choose your Instagram account, and any other accounts the video should go to.
- Pick a date and time. Choose when it should go out and save. It appears on the calendar until it posts.

Questions and answers
Do I need an Instagram business account?
You need an Instagram professional account (business or creator) linked to a Facebook Page. That is how Instagram allows posting tools to publish.
Can I schedule Reels for free?
Yes. The free package schedules videos you upload yourself to Instagram. Each destination counts as one post against the monthly allowance.
Can I post the same video to TikTok and YouTube?
Yes. Tick TikTok and YouTube in the same post and the video goes to each at the time you chose. TikTok and YouTube each ask a question of their own first: who can see the post.
Can I schedule Instagram Stories too?
Yes. Choose the Story format instead of Reel / Short. Instagram allows Story videos of up to 60 seconds and 100 MB.
