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.

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
