Before you get started
Some key details to note about Reels and how to use them:
Instagram Reels are similar to TikTok videos, allowing you to share 60- or 90-second clips. You can customize them by editing video, adding music, applying filters, writing captions, and including interactive elements like stickers and backgrounds. Instagram has made Reels fun and engaging, offering opportunities for creators to go viral.
Instagram now has a dedicated Reels tab in the app, where you can explore Reels from all accounts, not just the ones you follow
