captions are a great way to add extra information to your Instagram Stories. You can use them to describe what you’re seeing in your story, or to provide context for the images and videos you’re sharing. To add captions, open Instagram and sign in. Then, under the “Accounts” tab, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. On the left side of this screen, you’ll see a list of your current accounts. Click on one of these accounts to open its caption section. To add a caption, type a short phrase into the text field at the bottom of the caption section, and then click on the “add caption” button. The caption will appear in your story as an image or video.
The automatic captions feature is available when you record a video for your Instagram Story. The captions are actually one of the many “stickers” you can add to a Story. Instagram automatically transcribes what you say, but it can be edited as well.
First, open the Instagram app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet. From the Home tab, tap “Your Story” in the top row or swipe in from the left side of the screen to open the Story creation page.
Next, making sure you’re on the “Story” tab, hold your finger on the shutter button to record the video. Of course, you’ll need to speak if there’s going to be something to caption.
After you record the video, tap the sticker icon at the top of the screen.
Now select the “Captions” sticker. You may not see this option if the feature hasn’t arrived on your device yet.
The captions will appear on-screen. You can move them around and select from four different text styles.
You also have the option to tap the text to make any corrections and to customize the color. Tap “Done” when you’re finished editing.
Lastly, if you’re done adding other stickers and editing your video, tap “Your Story” in the bottom-left corner to add to your Story, or share it with specific friends and groups.
That’s it! Now your Instagram Stories will be more accessible to everyone! It’s easy to do and can make a world of difference.
