Instagram 🤳

⚠️ Instagram posts are currently not working, due to changes in the APIs from Instagram. We are working on the issue and the article will be updated.

Freshen up your public screens by displaying images from Instagram! The Instagram-post on your public screens will automatically retrieve new images and keep people updated, at the same time as you get to advertise about where people can follow you.

You can display images from your own Instagram-user. The images on the public screen will be automatically updated when there are new images on Instagram.

🔒 We can display images from all Instagram-accounts, but if the account is marked as a "Private account", one must authenticate the post anew every 60th day.

Display images from Instagram

To start displaying images from Instagram on your public screen, you have to authorize this.

Select the Instagram post. Click "Give access" and log in to your Instagram-account. 

If you are logged in to an Instagram account in the browser, this will appear. If you want to view photos from an Instagram account other than the one you are logged in with, you must therefore log out of the Instagram account in the browser to be able to log in and give access with another.

Select if you want the post displayed in the main area or in the sidebar, and select which screen(s) to publish it on. It can be a good idea to preview before you save.

Main area

In the main area the last five images will be displayed. The display focuses on the last image that is published, and displays thumbnails of older images.

Sidebar

If you place the post in the sidebar only the last image will be displayed. 

Several Instagram accounts

If you have several Instagram accounts, you can create several posts where you display images from different accounts. 

Video and reels are not displayed

Video posts on your Instagram account appear on the screen with the image you selected as the cover, marked with a video icon. Reels from Instagram cannot be displayed in the Instagram post.
