How to Schedule Carousels on Instagram

Rate this knowledgebase

This guide will help you schedule carousel posts (multiple images or videos) to your Instagram Business or Creator account using Social Champ.

Requirements

Before getting started, please ensure the following:

  • You have an Instagram Business or Creator account 
  • The Instagram account is connected to a Facebook Page 
  • You’ve connected the account through the Instagram Professional option in Social Champ 

Note: Personal Instagram accounts do not support direct posting for carousels. These will require manual publishing via mobile reminders.

1. Log In

Log into your Social Champ account from a desktop browser.

2. Select Instagram Account

You will land on the Create Post section. From there, select the appropriate Instagram Business or Creator account that you’ve connected through the Instagram Professional method.

3. Upload Carousel Media

Click the media uploader to select up to 10 images or videos.

  • Image formats supported: JPG, PNG 
  • Video formats supported: MP4 (max 60 seconds, 100MB) 
  • Drag and drop files to rearrange the order 

Add your caption, hashtags, mentions, or any relevant text in the caption box.

4. Choose a Publishing Option

Once your post is ready, select your preferred action: 

  • Schedule for later: Pick a date and time 
  • Add to queue: Add to your preset publishing schedule 
  • Post now: Instantly publish your carousel   

5. Publishing for Personal Accounts

If you select a Personal Instagram account, Social Champ will send a push notification via the mobile app at the scheduled time. You’ll need to open Instagram and manually post your carousel.

6. Best Practices

  • Use a consistent aspect ratio for all slides (e.g., 1080×1080 or 1080×1350) 
  • Keep videos under 60 seconds 

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

  • Confirm all files meet the format and size limits 
  • Try reconnecting your Instagram account if errors appear 
  • Clear your browser cache or try an incognito window
