Web Stories are a web-based version of the popular "Stories" format that blend video, audio, images, animation and text to create a dynamic consumption experience. This visual format lets you explore content at your own pace by tapping through it, or swiping from one piece of content to the next. Visual storytelling is huge, as we can see from the popularity of Instagram Stories, Facebook Stories, Snapchat Stories and Twitter Fleets. And now the Google’s Web Stories are available in WordPress too. That means you can embed the story on your site, and it can also be found on Google.
Web stories are already being used in journalism and tourism industry. Explore these high quality stories before we learn how to make our own.
