SharePoint Social Media Web Part: the benefits it offers

Simple configuration
How to publish posts from each social network
The web part draws on a dedicated SharePoint list where each entry corresponds to a social network. For Instagram and TikTok, you complete the Post URL field by pasting the link to the post. For LinkedIn and Facebook, you use the Iframe Code field: open the post's three-dot menu, choose Embed (Embed this post on LinkedIn), and copy the generated code. LinkedIn embedding requires the post's sharing functionality to be enabled beforehand.
Adding and managing posts from the SharePoint list
All content is managed from a Social Media Posts list inside your SharePoint Online site. From Site Contents, open the list, click +New, select the relevant social network, and supply either the Post URL or the Iframe Code depending on the platform. Because the source is a standard SharePoint list, editors can curate, update, or remove the social content shown on the intranet bulletin board without touching the page layout, keeping internal communication current.

Frequently asked questions
Which social networks does the Social Media Posts web part support?
The web part supports four platforms: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. You can pull selected posts from your company profiles on these networks and display them on the SharePoint Online intranet bulletin board to complement the internal news feed.
How do I add a LinkedIn or Facebook post to the intranet?
For LinkedIn and Facebook, you use the Iframe Code field. Open the post's three-dot menu, select Embed (or Embed this post), and copy the embed code provided by the network. On LinkedIn, this requires the post's sharing functionality to be enabled. Instagram and TikTok posts are added differently, by pasting the Post URL instead.
How is the web part configured in SharePoint?
Add the IAI - SocialMediaPosts web part to a SharePoint page, then adjust the view settings (background, shadow, title visibility), specify in the general settings the SharePoint site URL that hosts the Social Media Posts list, and optionally set a fixed web part height in the visualization settings. Republish the page to apply the changes.
Where are the social media posts stored and managed?
Posts are stored in a dedicated Social Media Posts list within your SharePoint Online site. From Site Contents, open the list and click +New to add an entry, choosing the social network and providing the Post URL or Iframe Code. Managing content from a standard SharePoint list lets editors curate which posts appear on the intranet.
