Upload the video file for a playable social post

Download the finished MP4 from VideoTour.ai, then upload that file to Facebook or Instagram. Pasting your VideoTour.ai viewing link shares a link to a webpage; it does not upload the video into the social platform.

Use the viewing link when you want someone to open your hosted tour. Use the MP4 when you want the video itself to play in a feed or reel.

Download the finished video fileExample
  1. Share the link opens a hosted viewing link.
  2. Download the video saves the MP4 for a social upload.

Prepare the right version

  1. Review the finished tour or reel and apply any outstanding changes.
  2. For a phone-first reel, choose a vertical version. A horizontal tour can remain useful for a wider listing presentation.
  3. Check that captions, the address and contact details remain readable in that shape.
  4. Download the finished video you intend to post. A separately generated reel has its own result.
Choose the video shape and qualityExample
  1. Choose wide, vertical or square.
  2. Choose an available output quality.

See the reel workflow, then check the finished reel separately from your original property tour.

Watch on YouTube

Find the download on an iPhone

If you only see a playing video in Safari, open its Share menu and use the available save option. If it was saved to Files, return to the MP4 there. Allow the social app access to the photos or videos you want to upload.

  1. Use Download video and let the download finish. In Safari, check the Downloads button near the address bar.
  2. Open Files → Browse → Downloads. Depending on your settings, Downloads is under iCloud Drive or On My iPhone.
  3. Open the MP4 to confirm it plays. To make it available in your photo library, use Share → Save Video if offered.
  4. Open Photos and check that the video is there before choosing it in Instagram or Facebook.

Upload to Instagram

Instagram’s controls can change. If your MP4 is not offered in the gallery, first check that it was saved to Photos and that Instagram can access it.

  1. Open Instagram on the account you use for property marketing and start creating a reel.
  2. Choose the downloaded video from your phone’s gallery.
  3. Preview the crop, cover and audio. Add your listing caption and check the address, price and contact details.
  4. Review the audience and sharing options, then publish when ready.

Upload to Facebook

Facebook is moving video posting into reels, so the exact button may differ between accounts. The important step is choosing the video file.

  1. Switch to the correct Facebook profile or business Page.
  2. Start a video or reel post using the creation option shown on your account.
  3. Select the downloaded MP4 from your computer or phone.
  4. Add your caption, review the audience and wait for the upload to finish before publishing.

Check the published post

Play it from the social app and check image quality, sound and text. Social platforms may process or compress a newly uploaded video; compare it with the downloaded original if it looks soft.

Changing the tour later in VideoTour.ai does not update a file already uploaded to Facebook or Instagram. Download the new version and update or replace the social post as needed.
