The ability to post short videos first appeared in some countries. It is possible to post them in the feed, Stories, share them with friends, and send them to other social networks. Until recently, Russian-speaking users were offered the option to publish Reels videos. To find them, a clear sequence of actions must be followed.
Step-by-step instruction
To view your favorite Reels on Instagram, you need to choose an available method from the list provided:
- by hashtag;
- using the audio track.
The standard sequence of actions to view your favorite Reels on Instagram includes the following instructions:
- At the initial stage, you need to click on the name of the desired music soundtrack or on the hashtag located at the bottom of the video.
- As a result, a new tab automatically opens with other videos that contain the desired music or hashtag.
- You need to enter the desired hashtag using the specially designed search filter.
Important: the initial version provided for adding and posting videos with a total duration of up to 15 seconds. The administration made changes and increased playback to 30 seconds.
Russian-speaking users can not only view the Reels they like. The functional capabilities provide:
- record and edit a video up to 30 seconds long;
- apply specially designed AR effects that involve augmented reality using the control panel;
- make changes to the background;
- post videos created in Reels directly to Stories, feed;
- independently choose the target audience for subsequent viewing. The functional capabilities allow you to open access only to personal subscribers or all users of the social network;
- if desired, view liked Reels on Instagram.
The functionality of the social network provides the use of additional options that are applied to videos up to 30 seconds long. For example, adding a music composition from several external sources: the default library of the social network application, recommendations, or basic trends.
If users want to create a personal audio track, they can share it with all users of the social network if their profile is open. Instagram developers allow sharing videos with users of alternative platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
To view the considered videos in a personal profile of the social network, you need to follow these instructions:
- Initially, click on the lightning bolt icon in the personal account – located at the bottom of the device being used.
- After that, you need to scroll the page to select the desired video.
Important: users are automatically shown new videos of those they are subscribed to.
If users want to use the audio track in the future, for example, to organize the recording of a personal Reels video, they need to click on the functional key to use the audio recording. It is located on the page displaying the recordings. If registered users plan to use a personal original audio track, the video is guaranteed to be displayed among the first among those who subsequently used their own development. In this case, all available video recordings are automatically displayed in the feed with personal Reels.
