As a digital & social marketer, you would have a suite of third-party apps for Instagram – for scheduling, Stories frames, grid templates, images & video editing, hashtag suggestions, and many many more! Though all are essential, we still struggle with transferring data to mobile for posting stories (though there is a paid App called Later). Or if I have to publish or schedule on Instagram feed, I usually go to Creator Studio by Facebook. Here’s a shortcut from Desktop, without going to any third-party websites or app to do so (for instant publishing of Feed, IGTV or Story). It’s a legit hack, making a mobile version on your desktop. And you don’t need any codes!
I am using Firefox as an example for now, but it’s possible on all browsers. Follow the simple steps below and you’d be saving time enabling publishing from Desktop itself.






That’s it. It’s simple and efficient.
Hey! Fabulous suggestions!
May we suggest our free Chrome extension @inssistapp? Inssist allows sharing videos and stories to Instagram from Desktop without sharing Instagram passwords with a 3rd party app.
It works on top of the FCS and adds calendar, time slots, bulk scheduling (soon) and multi-account support. What’s more, you can publish and schedule Carousels (multi-photo posts) , without mobile app notifications.
Hey Anastasia
I’ve tried @inssistapp and it’s an amazing free tool for accessing Instagram on web. I would suggest it to everyone, as it has the video sharing capability as well on InstaStories, which very few platforms provide even at a fee.
