Creating Carousel posts is a great way to draw attention from your audience. Mixing both images and videos is an even better way to catch viewers attention. Let’s take a look at how you can create your mixed media carousels with Vista Social.

Creating Mixed Media Posts

When creating your post, instead of selecting your media from the camera or video icon, you’ll want to make sure you select the mixed media icon on the right. From here, you can start selecting videos and images all for the same post.

You’ll see the same options as always, such as selecting from your media library, uploading from your computer, Canva, or other sources that we support. You can also easily rearrange the order of the images and videos you attach to get them lined up perfectly.

Platform Availability and Limitations

Keep in mind that mixed media carousels are only available for Instagram and Threads at this time, as these are the only networks that support that feature for scheduling tools like ours. If you choose to post this same content to other networks like a Facebook page or a LinkedIn profile, only the first image or video selected will be published.

Now you can schedule more engaging carousels mixing both images and videos with Vista Social. Want to learn how you can plan a beautiful and organized feed? Click on the next video to learn how Vista Social’s visual planner helps you with your Instagram and TikTok feed.
