Instagram Soon Enable You To Post Every Video as Reel
Meta-owned Instagram introduced short videos section to the platform named Instagram Reels to compete with YouTube Shorts and popular TikTok, and now it seems that the company wants it as the only way to videos on the platform. According to social media consultant Matt Navarra’s tweet, the video posts on the platform soon will be shared as reels, in case we might see the complete removal of feed videos to Reels that allows 60-sec video.

The feed videos are also run around 60-sec, and for long-form videos, there is already IGTV. So there is no meaning to keeping two videos format; users engage more with reels than feed videos. We don’t know when it will be rolled out, but we expect it soon because it has been confirmed. For confirmation, TechCrunch reached out to Meta, and the spokesperson said, “We’re testing this feature as part of our efforts to simplify and improve the video experience on Instagram”. Matt also shared a screenshot that shows while posting videos on Facebook, and it will offer an option to post the video as a reel, which means Facebook is also planning the same.
