Hey, Reggie here with Vista Social’s product team. This video is going to help you do location tagging as well as tagging users on your posts.

So, I have my composer open up here, my publisher. I’ve got a video attached. Now, what I want to do is maybe I want to tag my location here on this Instagram post.

How to Add Location Tags

I’ll head over to this preview area, the customization for my network. You can do a search, you can type in the location that you want to. You’ll see any that you’ve used recently right here. So, I can select that there.

We can see that as the preview. So, now switch over to an image instead. I’ll upload one or rather attach it from my media library. Maybe I’ll go with this one right here.

How to Tag Users in Photos

Now, on the preview side, on the right hand side here, for Instagram, I can click anywhere on this photo. I can click on tag a user. You can type in the username of that profile that you want to tag.

That’s it. When this post gets published through Vista Social, you’ll see it natively on Instagram. It’ll have the location tag, in my case Hawaii. I’ll also see any users that I’ve tagged in the photo as well.
