# Instagram for Digital Signage

Instagram for digital signage can pull the posts from your Instagram accounts. Posts can be organized in your chosen layout and style, including video playback and a call to action.

**What you need to get started:**

- Instagram for digital signage requires Authentication from a user with administrator access to an Instagram account.
- Instagram may require occasional re-authentication if the authenticating user is deactivated, screenfeed’s access is changed or a security issues arise. Generally the authentication lasts at least 60 days, but Screenfeed automatically refreshes the connection. If for some reason Instagram requires a re-authentication the contact on the Screenfeed account will be emailed.
- Plan your design based on our playback recommendations.

**Create a feed**
