Scheduling your Facebook Reels ahead of time can modernize your social media strategy and ensure consistent content delivery. By planning your posts in advance, you can maintain an active presence on Facebook without having to post manually in real-time. This guide will walk you through the steps to schedule your Facebook Reels using Vista Social, a powerful tool designed to simplify social media management.

How to Schedule Facebook Reels: How-to-Steps

Step 1: Access the Publisher on Vista Social:

Begin by clicking the Publish icon to open the scheduling window. Ensure that at least one Facebook page is selected from the list of social profiles. Currently, Facebook allows Reels to be scheduled only for pages.

Step 2: Upload Your Video: 

Upload or import your video from your Media Library into the Publisher. If you don’t have a video ready, use Vista Social's content discovery feature to find great videos to share!

Step 3: Add Trending Audio:

 After uploading your video, add trending audio by clicking the three dots on the top left of your video and selecting ‘Pick sound.’

Explore the Trending sounds tab for popular sounds and songs to add to your Reel. If you can’t find the audio you need, you can:

• Upload from computer: Add MP3/WAV files to your media library for easy access.

• Upload from URL: Provide a link to an audio file, MP4/MOV, or TikTok video to extract the sound.

• Find by Instagram hashtag: Enter a hashtag to browse and save audio from recent Instagram posts.

• Find by Instagram user: Enter an Instagram username to discover and save audio from posts by that user.

Once you’ve chosen your audio, click ‘Apply sound’ to add it to your video.

Step 4: Customize Your Post:

You can write a caption and use strategic hashtag tools to enhance the reach of your Facebook Reels. This process streamlines content creation and scheduling by keeping everything within one dashboard.

Step 5: Schedule Your Reel:

 When ready to publish, choose from four options: publish immediately, add to queue, schedule for a specific time, or select a recommended time slot provided by Vista Social.
