How to: Social Media Pulse + Instagram (photo+carousel) links + manually edited Reels links

Excited the Community team figured out how to do “one box” so our Instagram links show the actual photos!

Simply go to an Instagram account…find the post you want to share here in SMP then go to the 3 dots and Copy Link. Then paste the link in your post here at SMP. That SHOULD give you what you see below.

Note it works with photos and carousels! :tada: :space_friend:

7/28/22 EDIT: We’ve been working on getting Reels also play. We figured it out!!! It’s a bit manual…but at least it works! You have to change the URL to have a p instead of reel

(note I added an extra h and k at the end of each link so you could hopefully see links!)

Feel free to add a photo below to practice!

Hmm…let’s see if I can pop this Reel in from desktop!

…looks like it didn’t work for playing purposes.

How about this (a Reel from mobile)?

Also helps if you add the link on it’s own line in the post
