Direct publishing to Instagram requires a professional (Business or Creator) account connected to a Facebook Page.

Question 2

Which Facebook asset type can be connected to Hootsuite for scheduling and publishing posts?

Facebook Pages

Meta's API changes removed publishing to personal profiles, so Hootsuite publishes to Facebook Pages.
