# Post a story

Post a photo (JPEG) or video (MP4, ≤ 60 s, give duration/width/height) story for 24 hours from a file already uploaded to the account's outgoing folder; privacy everyone / contacts / close_friends; `pinned` keeps it on the profile afterwards. Caption ≤ 200 characters. Counts toward the 'Post story' daily limit. With `conversationId` (a channel / supergroup chat of the account, worker ≥ 1.0.33) the story is posted for that channel instead — always public; Telegram refuses with BOOSTS_REQUIRED / CHAT_ADMIN_REQUIRED when the channel lacks boosts or the account lacks the admin right.
