Instagram Stories is a great way to share quick, fun videos with your followers. But if you want to add captions, it can be a bit tricky. Here are some tips on how to do it:
- First, open the story you want to caption and tap the three lines in the top left corner. This will open the editing menu.
- Tap on the “Text” button and type your caption in the text box that pops up. You can also use hashtags if you want.
- To add a photo, tap on the “Photo” button and select one from your gallery or take a new photo with your phone’s camera. Then tap on “Add Photo.”
- To add an emoji, tap on the “Emoji” button and choose one from the list that pops up. You can also type in custom emoji characters if you want. ..
The automatic captions feature is available when you record a video for your Instagram Story. The captions are actually one of the many “stickers” you can add to a Story. Instagram automatically transcribes what you say, but it can be edited as well.
First, open the Instagram app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet. From the Home tab, tap “Your Story” in the top row or swipe in from the left side of the screen to open the Story creation page.
Next, making sure you’re on the “Story” tab, hold your finger on the shutter button to record the video. Of course, you’ll need to speak if there’s going to be something to caption.
After you record the video, tap the sticker icon at the top of the screen.
Now select the “Captions” sticker. You may not see this option if the feature hasn’t arrived on your device yet.
The captions will appear on-screen. You can move them around and select from four different text styles.
You also have the option to tap the text to make any corrections and to customize the color. Tap “Done” when you’re finished editing.
Lastly, if you’re done adding other stickers and editing your video, tap “Your Story” in the bottom-left corner to add to your Story, or share it with specific friends and groups.
That’s it! Now your Instagram Stories will be more accessible to everyone! It’s easy to do and can make a world of difference.
