Can I schedule Instagram Reels?
Yes. A single video you post to Instagram through Socialync is published as a Reel, from a professional (Business or Creator) account. Send MP4 or MOV files, add a caption of up to 2,200 characters, and pick the cover frame of the video. You can publish now or schedule it for later like any other post.
