Frequently asked questions
What’s the best tool to create Facebook Stories?
When you’re looking for a Facebook Story video maker, check out Captions. Our platform scrubs long-form content to automatically clip Stories.
What’s more, the process couldn’t be simpler. Just tap “AI Shorts,” upload a video or link, and let Captions generate your clip. Once you’ve reviewed and edited your posts, you can download and share them on Facebook Stories.
If you don’t have long-form content available, that’s fine too — Captions lets you make a Facebook Story online from scratch. Here’s how:
- Tap “Create.”
- Hit the camera icon to record a video.
- Select the length of your Story in the upper-right corner.
After filming your video, add AI-generated subtitles and royalty-free music from Captions’ library. Or, if you’d like to include a voiceover, use our speech-to-text technology to turn a script into realistic-sounding narration.
What’s the maximum length for a Facebook Story video?
Facebook allows users to post Stories that are up to two minutes long. This is shorter than their other formats, as Feeds and Marketplace both allow videos up to four minutes long.
When posting Stories, it’s important to keep in mind that they disappear after 24 hours, which doesn’t offer a lot of exposure to your videos. So, use Facebook Stories as a way to direct audiences to your full-length videos. Share the highlights that Captions finds for you, and add a “See more” link that leads to the longer post.
How do I view who has seen my Facebook Story video?
To see who’s viewed your Facebook Story, take the following steps:
- Go to your Feed and navigate to the “Stories” section at the top of it.
- Tap “Your Story.”
- Click “Viewers” at the bottom left of your Story to see a full list of audience members. If no one has watched the post, you’ll see the message, “No Viewers Yet.”
To ensure your videos are reaching audiences, start by checking your privacy settings. Make sure they allow everyone to view your content, and adjust as needed to manage who sees your Stories.
Once 24 hours have passed, your video will be archived, and you can find view counts in the Archive menu. Seeing how your past Stories performed will provide valuable insights into which content your audience prefers. This can help you refine your posting strategy and go viral.
What’s the difference between a Story and a post on Facebook?
Understanding the difference between Facebook Stories and posts is key for your content strategy. Posts are permanent and visible to followers unless deleted, while Stories last just 24 hours and are only accessible to you after they vanish.
The content tends to be different as well. Stories focus on videos, whereas posts can mix text, images, and videos for more variety.
To enhance your Facebook storytelling, consider using an AI tool like Captions. Our app automatically extracts the best short clips from your longer videos, helping you create engaging Stories that resonate with your audience.
