Step 1: Insert the ShortPoint Tabs Design Element

Watch the video below to learn how to insert the Tabs Design Element.

NOTE: To learn more about inserting ShortPoint Design Elements to your SharePoint page, go to ShortPoint Basics: How to Insert a Design Element in Grid Mode (Modern Experience).

Step 2: Edit the ShortPoint Tabs Design Element

Customize your ShortPoint Tabs according to your preference. 

For this guide, we set the Height to 720 px. 

Then, on the Tabs tab, we added a Title and a calendar icon.

Once you are satisfied with your edits, click Preview (1)  to see how the Tabs Design Element will look on your page, and Insert (2) to add it to your page.

Step 3: Add the Instagram Design Element

Click the black plus icon on the first Tab.

Click Instagram.

Go to the Instagram post you want to feature inside the Tabs and copy its URL. 

Paste the copied URL in the Post URL field.

Then, click Preview (1)  to see how the Instagram post will look on your page, and Insert (2) to add it to your page.

Repeat the same steps for the other tabs. 

Step 4: Add a Script Editor to auto-rotate tabs

Auto-rotating the Tabs will require a Script Editor. Check out this tutorial to learn how to add it to your Tabs. 

Step 5: Save

After adding the Script Editor, click Save. 

Then, click Republish. 

NOTE: If you do not see the tabs automatically rotating, use Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R, Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+F5, depending on the operating system you are using.

Congratulations! You have successfully created an Instagram slideshow using the Tabs Design Element. Enjoy adding this creative slideshow to your SharePoint pages.
