## Running

There is one main feed per each scenario, where all InstaMedia posts will be published.

### Post images <a href="#post-images" id="post-images"></a>

Posting images live during an exercise is effective for quickly spreading key information in a visually engaging way.

To post an image live click the '+' button on the top right hand corner of the InstaMedia channel. Here you will have the option to:

* Camera: take an image live using your laptop camera
* URL: upload an image or video by copying and pasting its URL
* Local: Importing an image or video that is stored locally on your laptop

After importing the file write a caption below and then click Share.
