Ha ha Jerry. Your 5 minutes took me 35 minutes to get thru (very typical for me and over 55 guy in real estate) very well done. Tom Gavin

[@karincogeresq]

I have been trying to figure out IG stories for approximately a year. This was the best video that I have seen. Thank you.

[@mrjerrypotter]

Great! You're welcome!

[@pammccloskey3633]

Very helpful! Thank you for showing while talking and not just talk for 15 minutes and then show for 2 minutes. You explained very well and your personality is welcoming.😊👍

[@mrjerrypotter]

This is the first time I actually understand how to use reels and stories from my phone! Thank you! Is closed captioning only a feature on reels and not stories?

[@susanromero4567]

You explained the process and features as though I were a 5-year-old. Thank you for keeping it simple!

[@mrjerrypotter]

You're welcome!

Jerry, this was a very helpful video. As a Senior Citizen who wants to be able to use this feature on Instagram, it answered so many of my questions and inspired me to give the “story” feature a try! Thank you for your informative and helpful video!

Splendid presentation--and I'm a Speech Coach who teaches presentation skills! I'm quite new to Instagram, and your video helped me plenty. I will watch it again and take even more careful notes. Many thanks!

[@cindysday]

Thank you for explaining it so simply. Can you expand on exactly how I can make smaller and move the music icon around. I’m not doing something right.

[@mrjerrypotter]

Changing the size of something is a matter of putting a finger on each corner and pinching and expanding, just like you would do with a photo on your camera roll. Does that make sense? Regarding the music icon, you probably need to tap Done in the upper corner, then you can move it around the screen!

[@janmakeup]

Thank you so much!

[@mrjerrypotter]

You're welcome!

[@karalovesmakeup85]

Hello, I am new here as I just came across your post and I am intrigued already. Hopefully I can get some help by watching your videos. I am confused on a new button that randomly showed up on my IG when I'm on someone else's page it is to the right of where you add, follow, ECT the page. It's a person with a + sign and I'm confused on what this is and I hope you can help me. TIA

[@ginaelrod4893]

Loved this tutorial but when I click on my icon at the top to "your story" the next page says "Add to Story and I can't get out. Any suggestions?

[@TaiwoPeterOdeh]

Thank you Sir! This is absolutely helpful

[@mrjerrypotter]

Happy to help!

[@alonsivanmusic]

Great video thank you!

[@mrjerrypotter]

Thanks!

[@aet9rat6]

Please correct me if I am wrong, the edit (what your explaining on the leftt create,boomerang, so on) is no longer available, well at least the level and multi-capture isnt there?

[@matclasensax]

Thank you very much for the video, that is very helpful! I would like to clearify, though, that instagram does not have a deal with the owners of the copyright of the music that can be added to your stories. Instagram just does it, as google just does it on youtube without asking or permission. They don't give a s...t about copyright or intellectual property.

[@christinemae7069]

What app or software did you use for editing?

[@mrjerrypotter]

I use Camtasia, but my editor uses Premiere Pro and put this one together.

[@FrMaximilianMaryDean]

Hi there. So much useful information! I'd like to create a Story Highlight button for all of my IGTV videos. Is there a way to do this... hit the story button and it connects to the IGTV videos (instead of sending an IGTV video to stories and then individually highlighting them)? If you've already covered this in a video please share the link. Thanks and God bless...

[@mrjerrypotter]

No, highlights are just for Stories right now.

[@EdGoPlaces]

great content. I'm trying to build my IG presence

[@judywillison3989]

Loved the explanation, but my instagram doesn't have all of those features. Why?

[@westbocanews3557]

Very helpful! Do you have a video on Facebook stories also?

[@mrjerrypotter]

I don't, but they are very similar. I'll get to one eventually! :)

[@patriciavella1223]

Thank you 😊

[@mrjerrypotter]

You're welcome!

[@joycedelifus4979]

Thank you.

[@mrjerrypotter]

You're welcome!

[@susanarodriguez9830]

Thank you but how can I check my story before sending it? Like a preview?

[@mrjerrypotter]

Great question Susana! You should be able to watch it back before you hit publish. Alternatively you could hit the download arrow to save it to your phone.

[@susanarodriguez9830]

@@mrjerrypotter Thank you ☺️ but I still don’t see the way to watch the story back before publish it. There is no Play button or anything like that.

[@mrjerrypotter]

Each clip plays automatically. If yours don't, it may be related to your internet speed. Try connecting to wi-fi if you can.

[@MaryOBrienaus]

Great content and so clearly explained...thank you Jerry!

[@mrjerrypotter]

You're welcome!

[@learnenglishthroughstory-new]

How add link in foto

[@DarkForcesStudio]

I don't have the story options on the right hand side. It just takes me to my photos.

[@djunleash]

How do I have more than 1 '#hashtag'? It seems to just over write the first one.

[@HatchHomeTeam]

I don't have all the icons on the right like you do...I only have 3

[@stressescape4422]

.nice 👌

[@sandrageorgina1488]

Also, need information about post video inside Instagram story?

[@sandrageorgina1488]

How about hashtags? is it important?

[@mrjerrypotter]

You can put a few hashtags in Instagram Stories, but I've heard very few people get a bunch more views from it.

[@toatsvcs2962]

your caption is covering the very buttons I need to see, that wasn't too wise

[@abrahamnutrition]

I don't know if it is me but I don't have all of those options in 2022.

[@toatsvcs2962]

plus it says 2021and currently does not look like that at all
