Why can't I schedule Instagram Reels on Meta Business Suite?

. 4 min read

Scheduling Reels lets you plan and create content in batches, saving you significant time. Instead of having to be present to post content daily, you can set aside specific times for content creation and schedule your posts to go live at the most opportune moments. This efficiency is crucial for individuals or teams managing multiple social media accounts.


Key Takeaway

Circleboom conducted research among its users and came up with a conclusion that is shown in the graph above about the best time to post on Instagram!

You can use Circleboom's Reels Scheduler, find your "user-specific" best time, and maximize your impressions and engagement! You can also set time intervals and automate your posts!

Queue scheduling for Instagram

Instagram Reels couldn't be scheduled directly through Meta Business Suite due to possible reasons like technical challenges specific to the Reels format. People try to find answers to this question on popular forums.

This is an example from Quora:

There are some technical reasons for this problem. For example, the video ratio of your Instagram Reels can't match the platform's requisites. You can find this example from Reddit:

Whatever the reason, this problem should be settled. If Meta Business Suite doesn't let you schedule Reels for Instagram and Facebook, I recommend you use Circleboom to schedule your Reels in advance with auto-tailored templates, video formats, and a hashtag generator that will find the best hashtags for your reels.
