Posts (Pictures and Videos)– The same old posts that include sharing pictures of the content such as for travel, lifestyle, memes, food, etc. where one can simply share the images that they clicked, use hashtags and be done.

Videos– You can share upto 10 videos in the carousel and add different videos of the same day, or same motive which will then turn out to be looking super attractive as well as engaging.
