June Changelog: Alt text, first comment and custom video thumbnail

Written by Stefano D'Avascio | Jun 22, 2026 3:52:19 PM

Alt text

You can now add descriptive alt text to your images within the Instagram, LinkedIn, X tabs inside the Composer. By allowing up to 200 characters of descriptive text per image, this update maximises your content's accessibility and reach, ensuring your messaging is fully inclusive and optimised for a broader audience without complicating your publishing flow.

 

First comment

Maximise your engagement and keep your post captions clean by scheduling an automatic first comment across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. This fully platform-agnostic component allows you to seamlessly offload secondary text, conversation starters, or up to 30 unique hashtags to a separate comment block that publishes the exact moment your post goes live.

 

Custom video thumbnails

Take complete control of your feed aesthetics with advanced custom video thumbnail uploads and picker enhancements for Instagram and YouTube. To accelerate your content production and entirely eliminate upload failures, thumbnails selected via the frame picker are now intelligently converted and encoded as JPEGs instead of PNGs, drastically reducing file sizes while maintaining pristine image quality.
