How to make a story on a laptop in VK

Recently, a function of a mobile application called "History" has appeared in the social network "Vkontakte". This allows you to share your videos and photos, which on the next day are independently deleted from the user's feed. Moreover, the creation of "stories" can be done only through the VC mobile application, in the stationary version of the laptop this functionality does not exist, but this limitation can be circumvented.

History on a laptop in VK

The ability to post content that is time limited is not new. VK programmers copied this idea from the popular social network Instagram, and she borrowed this concept from the Snapchat messenger.

Using code

This method may not always work, since VC developers are constantly looking for loopholes in the code that hackers use to fix them. Therefore, this method of sending content via VK Developers may not work all the time. But you can try to use it. The steps are as follows:

1. Go to the browser and click on the VK link. Or you can go to the desired page by typing in the search engine //vk.com/feed and click "Developers".
2. Then open "My Applications".
3. After the item "List of methods."
4. In this list, find the "others" section and click "execute".
5. At the bottom of the page is the "Request Example" item. To add the required content to the social network, you need to copy the code in the corresponding column "code".
6. Now click "Run."
7. If everything went well, the active line “Select file” will appear. Click her.
8. Next, you need to upload a photo or video. Why find the desired file in your laptop and open it.
9. Then a long code will appear in the field, this indicates a successful download. After that, the "story" will be in the news feed on your account.

An error may appear during this procedure. Then you can use another method.

VK Utils

There is a special utility that allows you to create a story from a laptop. To use it, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Go to the browser and go to the site to download the utility, click "Download for free."
2. After downloading, open the file.
3. First you need to log in, for this you need to enter the account username and password. After clicking "Login", it will appear online in the social network.

5. Find the photo or video on the hard drive, click "Open."
6. After some time, the publication will be in the news feed. VK Utils application does not require installation, so you can copy it to a USB flash drive and use it if you need to set a "history".

Reference! All the options described above make it possible to lay out a story with pre-prepared photos or videos. But what if you need to take a photo or video through a web camera on a laptop? In this case, you can use the following method.

Android emulator

If you can officially upload content only on smartphones, you need to turn the computer into a mobile device. Any emulator of Android OS can help here. If the application is required only for laying out photos and videos on social networks, you can use the Nox Player program. The main stages of action:

1. Find the official website and select "Upload."
2. Run the file when finished.
3. After click "Install."
4. Then start.
5. Next, go to the Google folder and go to the Play Store.

10. Discard the item "Link payment instrument".
11. Next, in a Google Play search, type the name of the social network and go to the desired page.
12. Click Install.
13. After the "Accept".
14. Turn on the social network application. It also opens through a shortcut on the desktop.
15. Enter the information for authorization of your Vkontakte page.

17. If the webcam on the laptop is configured, an image will appear. To take a picture, click on the circle. To record a video, hold the same button. The icon on the left allows you to rotate the image. To select content, click on the icon on the right.
18. Now you just need to edit the photo and publish.

In addition to the above emulator, you can use similar free programs, these are Blue Stacks, Droid4x, etc. I must say that in this way it will not be possible to carry out a live broadcast in VK. In this case, you need to install the special utility VK Live.

The absence of certain restrictions in the stationary version of the VC is almost not a problem for users. It is only necessary to take advantage of various solutions in the form of codes, a special utility or an emulator.
