# How to directly post Facebook stories


### DesktopStart

Publer now offers the ability to post **Facebook stories** to any of your Facebook **Pages**, streamlining the process of publishing pre-made content. 

Facebook stories are only supported for **Facebook Pages**, they are posted **directly**, and they can be a **single-photo** or **single-video up to 60 seconds**. 

You cannot find or add the elements you have on the Facebook app (i.e. links, stickers, emojis, GIFs) when you schedule your story within Publer. 

### To schedule Facebook stories:

* Go to the [Create](https://app.publer.io/#/) page on [Publer](https://publer.io/).
* Select Facebook from the left and click on **Story**.

* Then, click on **Select or Drag and Drop media** and [upload a photo or video](/en/article/how-to-upload-a-photo-and-other-media-1ijl3cu/).

|| Note: You can only post **single-photos** and **single-videos** stories up to **60 seconds** long for Facebook Pages.

### For Photos

* After you upload a photo, you can hover over the photo and **Edit** it with the [built-in photo editor](/en/article/how-to-edit-photos-in-publer-with-the-built-in-photo-editor-euu865/).

* You can use the [built-in photo editor](/en/article/how-to-edit-photos-in-publer-with-the-built-in-photo-editor-euu865/) to make some last minute changes, such as change the photo's colours, resize it, add filters, add text, emojis, or choose a specific aspect ratio.

* Once you have finalized your story, schedule it accordingly.

### For Videos

* Similarly to photos, you can also schedule **single-video stories** (up to 60 seconds long) to your Facebook Pages.
* Once you have [uploaded your video](/en/article/how-to-upload-a-photo-and-other-media-1ijl3cu/), you can customize the story's cover by clicking on the camera icon at the bottom right of the video.

* Use the **arrows** to choose between the different covers for your story, and once the story is ready, schedule it accordingly.

### Keep in mind:

* You can only schedule single-photo and single-video stories for Facebook Pages, not Groups. When you select both a Page and a Group, the story will be shared as a regular post on the Facebook Group.
* You cannot find/add the elements you have on the Facebook app (i.e. links, stickers, emojis, GIFs) when you schedule your story within Publer. However, you can use the [built-in photo editor](/en/article/how-to-edit-photos-in-publer-with-the-built-in-photo-editor-euu865/) to make a few last minute changes.
* Due to API limitations from Facebook, it is not possible to [collect insights/analytics](/en/article/what-metricsanalytics-are-gathered-for-each-social-network-1ibwz3q/), tag accounts, or add a caption for your Facebook stories.
* It is not possible to [sync](/en/article/how-to-synchronize-all-posts-within-publer-x673pq/) Facebook Stories into Publer, so you won't be able to see old story posts on Publer. However, all the stories that you share using Publer will be stored under Posts > Posted and you will always be able to access them in the future.

### Tips:

* You can [apply a watermark](/en/article/how-to-create-watermarks-1imv1yx/) to your Facebook stories, just like you would for any other photo or video post.
* You can customize the cover of a video story through Publer, and add a custom cover of your choice.
* You can [quickly schedule Facebook stories in bulk using the CSV file](https://publer.com/help/en/article/what-csv-template-should-i-use-18qhxcq/#3-10-the-post-subtype-ie-story-reel-pdf-column) on Publer.
