Gallery for Instagram Creators

With the «Gallery for Instagram Creators» app you automatically play the posts of an Instagram creator account on your screens.

Show your Instagram posts in the room without capturing them a second time. The app is intended for creator accounts; for a business account use «Gallery for Instagram Business».

• An active revolutionSCREEN account with access to my.rstv.app.
• An Instagram creator account.
• At least one configured Screen.

In the sidebar on the left, click «Apps» and then «zum App-Store» (to the app store) at the top.

Scroll to the «Alle» (all) list and click the «Gallery for Instagram Creators» tile. Use the category buttons to narrow down the list.

The app's detail view opens. If it is not yet installed, first click «Installiere» (install). Then click «Neue Instanz» (new instance). «App Guide» opens a quick guide.

Under «Apps › Meine Apps» (my apps) you see all instances of the app as tiles. Use «Neue Instanz» (new instance) at the top right to create another one, and click a tile to open an existing one.

In the editor, hover over the title and click the pencil to give the instance a name. Until then a new instance shows «Kein Name angegeben» (no name specified) in red. At the top right you choose whether the preview appears in portrait or landscape.

The app requires a login with your Instagram account. For a new instance, sign in at the very top of the settings under «Zugang» (access). If the connection has expired, «Authentifizierung fehlgeschlagen» (authentication failed) appears on the left and in the preview. In that case, sign in again with «Neu authentifizieren» (re-authenticate).

As long as the login is missing or expired, the editor only shows the connection message. On the left are all settings, on the right you immediately see in the live preview how the instance looks on the Screen. Use the arrow next to the card to collapse the settings.

• Zugang (access): login with your Instagram creator account.
• Weitere Einstellungen (more settings): appear only after a successful login, e.g. number of posts and duration per post.

Gallery for Instagram Creators shows several posts one after another per instance. When you use the instance in a Playlist or Layout, you set how long it runs via the element duration. To do so, click the duration of the element. This logic applies to all apps with multiple posts per instance.

In the «Elementdauer bearbeiten!» (edit element duration) window, the switch decides between two variants. It is usually called «pro Post» (per post), for presentations «pro Slide» (per slide). Use «Confirm» to apply the setting.

Variant 1: switch OFF (total duration)
The set time applies to the entire instance. Example 00:01:00: the instance runs for one minute. The posts cycle through in turn during this time and start over if needed. So not necessarily all posts appear.

Variant 2: switch ON (duration per post)
The set time applies to each post. Example 00:00:10 with 12 posts: each post appears for exactly 10 seconds, the instance runs for 2 minutes in total. The list then shows «pro Post» or «pro Slide» below the duration.

Save the instance at the top right with «Speichern & Schliessen» (save & close).

Adding to a Playlist: open the Playlist, select the «Apps» tab on the right, click the app and then the instance. The instance is added immediately.

Adding to a Layout: open the Layout and click the pencil on the desired section.

In the «Inhalt für Abschnitt bearbeiten» (edit content for section) window, add the instance with «Inhalt hinzufügen» (add content). On the right of each element, set the schedule via «Täglich» (daily).

Then click «Veröffentlichen» (publish) in the Playlist or Layout. As long as it shows «Entwurf, Veröffentlichung erforderlich» (draft, publishing required), the Screen still shows the old state.
