Oktopost supports sharing videos on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter. To ensure that your videos will be shared, without issues, we validate each video according to the selected network’s specifications.

Please make sure that the video you’re trying to upload is formatted based on the specifications in this article: https://community.oktopost.com/knowledgebase/articles/1865824-sharing-videos

After editing a post, the post console will now close.

As part of our Post Console update, there is now an Emoji picker

This is now available.

See this article for video specification requirements: https://community.oktopost.com/knowledgebase/articles/1865824-sharing-videos

Through the Post Console, if you view your post in its Full-Screen mode, your post preview should be a much better indicator of how its final appearance will be, with options to see it in desktop and mobile view.

You can upload videos to LinkedIn Company or Showcase Pages.

In addition, posting a Youtube link from Oktopost will embed the video from Youtube on LinkedIn’s side. This works for Personal LinkedIn Profiles as well.

You can drag and drop posts from the calendar by clicking the social network icon on the post, and dragging it to another day.

Our new Post Console can be moved around the screen by clicking and dragging the top of it. It can also be minimized to the bottom of the screen allowing you to navigate anywhere in Oktopost and bring it back up.

If a Campaign is not selected when scheduling a post, a prompt will now come up reminding you.

Otherwise, the Campaign will now be set as your last-used Campaign by default rather than creating a new General Campaign.

Through the newly updated Post Console, if you view your post in its Full-Screen mode, you will see how your post should appear with options to see it in desktop and mobile view.

You can edit existing queues by going to the Social Profiles screen and clicking the Edit Queue Settings icon to the right of the Profile you would like to edit the queue for.

You can save Posts or Messages as a Draft by clicking the arrow next to “Share Now” or “Schedule” and selecting “Save as Draft”. If a Post is saved as a Draft, it will appear on the Calendar with the top-right corner bent inwards so it is easily seen.

Both Twitter and Facebook have character counters now.

Twitter’s will appear as a circle that fills up and will display numbers as you get close to the character limit.

Because Facebook currently allows up to 63,206 characters and in most cases will not be exceeded, the circle will remain hidden from view until you either get close or go over the limit, at which point it will also show the number of available characters left/characters over the limit.

This is currently available in the campaigns section of Oktopost.

If there is not a Social Profile connected to Oktopost for a certain Social Network, that Social Network will no longer appear in the Post Console.

You can bulk upload messages using the Autoposter. The more information, refer to our knowledge base article: https://community.oktopost.com/knowledgebase/articles/349702-how-to-use-the-autoposter

Images that are too large will now be resized.

In addition to this, when you are uploading an image for a post, you can use the crop tool to crop it to a recommended aspect ratio.

We have a duplication feature that you can use to easily repost. In the calendar view, click into the respective post to see the ‘Duplicate’ button as shown in the screenshot below.

One quick way to keep the same link available for all messages in a Campaign is in Campaign Settings. There’s a field for “Link” which when filled, creates a link icon on the post screen to quickly add the Campaign Link to the post.
