You can attach videos to get more attention to your social media content. Simply start creating a new post and click the camera icon either to attach the video from your gallery or to start filming your own video clip using your phone's camera.
Publish with ease
When you publish with Hookle, most of the work is automatically taken care of to ensure your videos are compliant with the different platforms.
Hookle supports all video file types between 3-60 seconds and up to 200 MB, for all platforms that support video publishing. Currently supported are Twitter, LinkedIn Business Pages, Facebook, and Instagram Business.
Video processing indicator
Large video files might need some processing time, mostly depending on your network bandwidth and how many accounts you are publishing to.
When the video is being processed, this is indicated with the status Uploading and the progress indicator.
Some limitations
The video is not supported for LinkedIn personal pages, Google Business Profiles, and Instagram personal/creator accounts when you use 3rd party apps, such as Hookle. If you must publish videos on those platforms you can still do it on a native app on that specific platform respectively.
For Instagram, you should ensure your Instagram business account is connected to a Facebook Page to be able to publish videos.
While a video is being uploaded, the post cannot be edited or copied and you cannot create new video posts. To avoid losing your post, you should not kill the app before the uploading has been finished. However, you can use Hookle normally during the uploading process, e.g. create new posts and schedule posts that do not contain videos.
Each platform has its own requirements for video files. When you publish a video natively to a platform (outside of Hookle), that specific platform automatically optimizes it to fit its own requirements. Thus, the final published format may slightly differ depending on whether you publish from Hookle or the platform's own publishing feature.
Hookle will publish your video as-is to Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, however, these social networks might make some adjustments to them. If necessary, videos to Instagram are cropped to fit their content requirements.
Editing videos
Currently, you cannot edit videos in Hookle, however, there are many handy tools to edit videos beforehand if needed. In many cases, your phone's default video app may support simple video editing.
Video can be attached when you create the post or later on when you edit drafted or scheduled posts. Tip: learn more about how to publish, schedule, and edit posts.
