This wikiHow teaches you how to snap a snap to the “Our Stories” segment, Snapchat's public montage that focuses on specific themes, holidays, and events.

Touch the shutter button at the bottom of the screen to take a photo, or hold down the button to record a video.
- Snapchat selected the best and most relevant posts for the “Our Stories” segment. When creating a post, make sure the content is entertaining, and fits the topic on a common “Story” theme.
