Facebook has published some tips to get more out of Stories by rescuing them from a video posted on Facebook Watch
The company has now released a new video in which it recovers some of those recommendations and provides tips to improve the visual aspect of Stories, with some clues that can be very relevant.

-To improve lighting, use a ring of light or take advantage of natural light to give your images a more professional look.
-Look for a unique proposal, an idea that makes your brand stand out within the content that is more visually attractive.
-Use Instagram filters and editing tools to adjust colors and tones. Make your image stand out but without losing its naturalness.

-Add a short text, but not too long and include a call to action.
