How the Instagram integration works in PLAYipp
The Instagram integration is used in conjunction with PLAYipp's feed widgets, making it easy to automatically display posts from your Instagram account directly on the screens. You choose which widget best suits your layout, and the content is updated continuously without you having to do anything manually. This provides a vibrant and up-to-date flow of information on your digital information screens.
We currently only show images from Instagram. If a post is a video, a still image from the video will be shown instead.
To create an integration with Instagram, your account must be a professional account. Professional Instagram accounts can be set up as either Business or Creator, depending on what best suits your business. Therefore, it is not possible to integrate with a personal or private account.
For more information about account types, please refer to the Instagram Help Center.
Please note that likes and comments are not displayed, as Instagram no longer provides this information through its API.
