How to change your social media metas – Fastory

When you share your Experience link on social media, a preview is automatically displayed alongside your link: this is what we call the meta. Fastory lets you take control of this preview so you can choose the image, title, and description that will represent your Experience.

What is it for?

The term "meta" refers to the media that is automatically added to your post when you share a link on social media. It is that small preview (image, title, description) that makes people want to click before they even open your link.

Customizing your metas lets you know exactly what your post will look like and helps you polish the first impression you leave on your audience.

Change the metas of your Experience

Go to the Publish tab in Fastory.

Upload the image that will accompany your link.

Write the title of your share.

Write the description of your Experience.

Preview the result of your post directly in the tab to make sure it matches your expectations before sharing.

Image recommendations

The image must not exceed 300 KB for WhatsApp and Facebook. Beyond this limit, the preview may not display correctly on these platforms.

Best practices

Keep your image size under the 300 KB threshold to stay compatible with WhatsApp and Facebook.

Always check the preview in the Publish tab before sharing your link.

Enter a clear title and a concise description so your share remains readable at a glance.

Concrete use cases

If you want a polished share on WhatsApp and Facebook

Prepare an image under 300 KB, then enter the title and description in the Publish tab. This guarantees a sharp, complete preview on both platforms.

If you want your link to stand out in a news feed

Upload an eye-catching image and write a punchy title from the Publish tab. A customized preview attracts more attention than a default-generated one.

If you want to avoid unpleasant surprises when sharing

Use the preview in the Publish tab to see exactly what your post will look like before sharing it, and adjust the image, title, or description if needed.
