HOW TO USE INSTAGRAM NAMETAG WITH SOCIAL WALL

Instagram recently released a new feature on their mobile app called Nametag. As the name suggests, you will be able to create a name tag for your Instagram account meaning people will be able to use the scanning feature on Instagram to follow your account. Previously, the only way to follow someone was to search for their username and then select the correct account from the list which proved to be tedious and time-consuming. In addition, there would be accidental typos and people would end up following the wrong accounts – with nametags you will no longer have this issue and it’s so much faster to use.

With this feature, you can add the nametag to Social Wall so people at the event or visiting your website can quickly follow you. We’ve created a quick example of how you can set this up:

We used our AdvertiseMe.TV solution to create this custom branding template which included the Social Wall in the middle left-hand side, custom header and footer with two logos at each bottom corner and an image of our clients’ logos in the middle right-hand side of the template. We also used the single post highlighting feature to zoom in and display one single post.

Here’s the result, just watch this sort video:

Here’s also a few instructions on how to create your own nametag and then use the scanning feature:

You will see your nametag on the top right-hand side of the screen

To customise the nametag press on the nametag. You can edit the nametag by changing the colours, by swiping in any direction or you can add emoji or add your own selfie image by tapping the COLOUR/EMOJI/SELFIE button at the top.
