Testing: Pinterest Story Pins

Pinterest has rolled out Story Pins, a way to share information about a recipe or a craft, in the testing phase.

Story Pins are accessible through the Home Feed, users can add comments or photos, and save a Story Pin, but can’t save just one page from within a Story Pin on Pinterest.

Business accounts on Pinterest can add images, videos, lists, and text in a single Story Pin. Each Story Pin has a cover and a title, a video cover would help catch attention in the Home Feed.

Brands can make the most of Story Pins the same way one can on Instagram, showcase a collection of products, tell their brand story, launch DIY guides, create engaging content through videos with customized colors and overlay text.
