How to schedule your Instagram Reels with SocialBee

Don’t have a SocialBee account yet? Create one for free, start your 14-day trial, connect your Instagram account, and start posting.

1. Upload and preview your Reel

Upload and preview your video to see exactly how your Reel will look before posting. Make quick edits if needed.

2. Generate a catchy Instagram Reel caption

Use SocialBee’s AI writer to generate post ideas and punchy Instagram Reel captions, complete with hashtags and emojis to help your post get more views.

3. Pick the best time to post

Post right away or schedule your Instagram Reel for later. SocialBee suggests the best times to post based on your past performance.

4. Organize you Instagram Reels

Add your Reel to a category (similar to a content folder) so you can group similar Instagram posts together and easily organize your content mix.

5. Set your Reel to repost automatically

If your Reel works well over time, you can set it to repost on a schedule. Choose how often it repeats and when to stop.

6. Save drafts and get team feedback

Not ready to post yet? Save your Reel as a draft. Your team can review it, leave comments, and approve it when it’s ready to go live.

7. Publish your Reel and track performance

Once your Reel is ready, SocialBee will publish it for you at the scheduled time. After it goes live, check its performance with stats like reach, likes, and comments.

8. Reply to your Reel comments

Keep your audience engaged by replying to your Reel comments directly in SocialBee. No need to switch between apps.

What is the best Instagram Reels planner?

SocialBee is one of the best tools for scheduling Instagram Reels. It offers affordable plans, supports multiple Instagram accounts (Business, Creator, and Personal), and lets you schedule not just Reels but also Stories, carousels, feed posts, and collaborative content.

Moreover, it provides helpful features like a visual Instagram grid planner, a content calendar, AI content creation, team collaboration, an Instagram inbox for managing comments and mentions, and built-in analytics.

Do I need a Business or Creator account to schedule Instagram Reels with SocialBee?

No, from SocialBee, you can schedule Reels on any Instagram account type, including Personal, Creator, or Business accounts. The difference is that the Reels will post automatically if you’re using a Business account. If you’re using a Creator or Personal account, you’ll get a notification when it’s time to post, and you can publish it through the SocialBee mobile app. This is due to Instagram’s API restrictions.

Publishing takes just a few extra taps via the SocialBee mobile app. Learn more here.

Will my Reels post automatically if I schedule them with SocialBee?

If you’re using a Business Instagram account, your Reels will auto-publish directly from SocialBee. For Creator or Personal accounts, you’ll get a reminder when it’s time to post and can finish the upload in the SocialBee app with just a few taps.

Does Instagram let you schedule Reels?

Yes, if you have a Business or Creator account. You can schedule Reels, regular feed content, and carousel posts up to 75 days in advance in the Instagram app. However, you cannot schedule Instagram Stories in the app. To do that, you need a third-party tool like SocialBee.

How far in advance can I schedule a Reel on Instagram?

Up to 75 days. If you want to schedule beyond that, use an Instagram Reel scheduler like SocialBee, which doesn’t impose a time limit.

Can I bulk schedule Reels on Instagram?

If you want to schedule multiple Reels at once, use a social media management tool like SocialBee. You can upload several Reels at once (or any other type of Instagram content), add captions and descriptions, set different times, and let SocialBee auto-post them for you.
