Add multimedia content

In Metricool, you have different options to add multimedia content:

Dragging to the calendar

You can quickly add content to the calendar by dragging and dropping files from your PC or directly from the planner. Access the Canva, Google Drive gallery (available for premium plans) or to the Posts Library by clicking on the multimedia icon. When you drag and drop, the "Create post" window will open with the files, complete your post, and save.

Creating a new post

You can also add multimedia elements when planning your content:



Go to planner
Click on Create post
Click on the multimedia icon in the options bar
Select an option from the dropdown to continue

Add image or video: Add your files from a device or via a URL.

Considerations for URLs:
- URLs must be public and directly point to an image or video.
- A link preview may not be generated, but the content will be imported if the configuration is correct; otherwise, an error will be shown.
- For Google Drive, the link must be configured with Editor permissions.
- YouTube links are not valid, as they redirect to a website.
