The concept of Stories

Story is an immersive media format that can be contained of text, photos, videos with subtitles, engaging elements, animations, custom elements, emojis, GIFs or the mix of it all. Every story that is created can be an AMP story or a custom story.

Stories example

The length of a story is set to 6s, if the auto advance option is enabled, or until a person scrolls to another story, if the auto advance option is disabled. The story duration can be unlimited: if a video is included the story will last for the duration of a video, if animation is included for the duration of the animation.

Slides can be set to auto advance to the next slide.
