Choosing the"NORMAL" option for Stories

Tapping once will capture a photo. Holding down will record a video. OR you can upload a previously created video. Stories can be 15 seconds in length, so if you want to share a video that's longer, film in 15-second stints. OR pre-record, and then use an app such as long- story-short to slice into 15 sec lengths.
