You can also add music to your story, use a filter, insert video links, and add text or stickers. Use two fingers to resize a sticker (with a pinch) or move a sticker (with a dragging motion.) When you're happy with the content, tap Save and then tap Post to deliver your story.

If you already have video on your phone, you can easily convert it to a Reel and publish it.

Once you're in Create Mode, you can either upload pre-recorded videos that live on your phone or you can record video directly from within the app. If you want to upload pre-recorded video, use the Gallery icon at the bottom left of your screen (or just swipe up to access files from your phone!).
You need to share the reels on your Instagram feed so that your followers can see them. Anyone will not be able to use the original audio from your reels and they will also not be able to share them with people who don't follow you.
When you upload a Reel, you can also choose to post it to your Feed. All the Reels you create will also appear in a dedicated section of your profile, similar to IGTV posts.
To check in on the performance of a specific Reel, open the Reel from your profile, then tap the three dot icon in the bottom right of the screen, then tap Insights.
Instagram recommends you do 5-7 Reels per week. I don't think you need to do one every day, BUT the ratio of Reels that actually took off on my account to the amount that I did is small (so posting them often is important).
Step 1: Open your Instagram Camera and select Reel. Step 2: Shoot a video with your own audio playing in the background until you reach the time limitation(15 seconds or 30 seconds). Here, you'll see the clip bars at the top of the screen. That's it!
Launch the Instagram app and tap on the Your story/Camera icon at the top. Go to the Reels tab. To select a song before you add the recordings, tap on the Audio icon. Alternatively, record the Reel, and then tap on the Audio icon.
The Story is a concept that allows you to tell the story of your day using video, photo or a post, as much as you want for 24 hours. The Reel remains a creativity-driven single video that will be displayed in the feed as a post (which you can share as a Story as you would a post).
Best Times to Post on Instagram Reels to Get Better Engagement
- Plus, getting a lot of likes, shares, and comments for a specific content format on a specific day of the week at a specific time doesn't mean that every post you share is going to go viral.
- Monday: 6 AM, 10 AM, 10 PM.
- Tuesday: 2 AM, 4 AM, *9 AM.
How to share an Instagram Reel in a direct message
- Open the Instagram app on your device.

After you've set up Video Downloader, go back to Instagram and choose the reel you want to download. Tap the three-dots icon > Copy Link. Go back to Video Downloader and the URL for the reel you just copied will be pasted there automatically. Go to your phone's images and you'll find the reel there.
Step 1: Visit your Instagram account and open the video which you want to download. Step 2: Copy the URL or Link of the Instagram photo. Step 3: Now paste copied Instagram photo URL or link in the 'Instagram picture downloader'. Step 4: Click on the 'Download' option to view and download it.
Reels can be recorded in a series of clips (one at a time), or all at once. During the recording, you can tap the record button to end a clip, and then tap it again to start a new clip. Then, the Align button (5) will appear, allowing you to line up objects from the previous clip before recording your next.
IGTV is a long-form video channel accessible from Instagram and as a standalone app. Instagram launched the feature in June 2018. It gives brands the opportunity to make videos longer than typical Instagram Stories and posts. In fact, verified users can post IGTV videos up to an hour long.
