How To Post An Instagram Story From A PC/Laptop?

To post an Instagram Story from a PC or Mac, although Instagram's official desktop site doesn't support direct Story uploading, you can use a workaround until the feature becomes officially available. Follow these steps:

  1. Open Instagram.com in your web browser.

  2. Sign in to your Instagram account if needed.

  3. Right-click anywhere on the webpage and select "Inspect" (or press Ctrl+Shift+I).

  4. Click the "mobile device icon" (usually located near the "Elements" tab) to simulate a mobile environment.

  5. Choose an iPhone view from the dropdown list.

  6. Refresh the page.

  7. Look for the camera icon labeled "+ Story" in the top right corner; click it.

  8. Upload a photo or video you wish to post on your Story.

  9. Customize your Story with text, stickers, or drawing tools within the limited options provided.

Please note that this workaround lacks some advanced editing features like adding music or links. Once you've completed your Story, click "Add to your story" at the bottom to post it.

Alternatively, you can also use third-party social media management tools like Sked Social to schedule and auto-post Instagram Stories from your computer, offering additional features like cross-posting to multiple social networks.
