Facebook: How to post Stories on the computer

Facebook now allows the user to publish Stories by computer. You can post photos and videos saved on your PC or write texts and emojis with the already colorful backgrounds of the platform. Some features, such as inserting figurines, creating polls and adding location, are not available to be published in the stories by the desktop, only by the cell phone. On the PC, the user can only create more basic posts.

At creation time, you have to choose whether the post will appear in Stories, feed, or both formats at once. Check out the following tutorial how to post to Facebook Stories by computer.
