Any post from a public channel can be dropped into a story. It arrives as a card you can move, resize and decorate, and it stays a real post rather than a screenshot.
Anybody watching can tap it and land on the original, which is the entire point: a story is temporary, and this is how it points at something that is not.
What you will be able to do
- check_circle Repost a channel message into your story.
- check_circle Place the card so it invites a tap.
- check_circle Add the reason you passed it on.
- check_circle Use it for your own channel without wearing it out.
The share arrow on a post offers to repost it to a story, opening the composer with the card already in it.
ads_click A card, not a screenshot
The difference between this and photographing your screen is that the card remains the post. The text stays sharp at any size, media plays, the channel's name is attached, and one tap takes the viewer to the original where they can read the rest and subscribe.
That makes it the cleanest bridge there is between something ephemeral and something permanent. A story reaches people who are not in the channel; the card gives them somewhere to go; the post is still there tomorrow when the story is gone.
It also means attribution is automatic. You cannot accidentally pass off somebody's work as your own here, which is worth knowing when the alternative — a screenshot with the name cropped out — is what most people do instead.
Four uses
The last one is the one channels overdo.

The card is a door into the feed. It works while it is rare and stops the moment it is routine.

This page is one push for one post. The curriculum step is the rhythm around it: planning what goes out when, scheduling instead of posting on impulse, and deciding which posts deserve a second push at all.
