Facebook Stories are short videos (up to 20 seconds) or photos (up to 5 seconds) that disappear after 24 hours — perfect for sharing quick updates, behind-the-scenes moments, or event reminders with families.
With Enrollio's Social Planner, you can schedule Facebook Stories alongside your regular posts and reels, all from one place.
How to Create a Facebook Story
- Navigate to Marketing → Social Planner
- Connect your Facebook page (if you haven't already)
- Click New Post to open the post composer
- Add your content — upload an image or video
- Select your Facebook page from the dropdown
- Choose "Story" as the post type
- Schedule or post immediately
Facebook Story Requirements
To ensure your story posts correctly, follow these guidelines:
Images:
- Formats: JPEG, PNG, or GIF
- Maximum file size: 4MB
- Display time: 5 seconds
Videos:
- All video formats supported
- Maximum file size: 1GB
- Length: 3 seconds minimum, 90 seconds maximum
- Minimum dimensions: 540 × 960 pixels (vertical format works best)
Note: Facebook Stories don't support custom thumbnails or Open Graph meta tags. You can only post one image or video per story.
💡 Pro Tip
Stories are great for time-sensitive content like enrollment deadline reminders, staff spotlights, or celebrating milestones. Since they disappear after 24 hours, they create urgency without cluttering your main feed.
