Meta Launches Facebook Reels (All You Need to Know)

Meta has launched Facebook reels just as Instagram. Facebook Reels is currently available to creators in the United States, Canada, IN, and Mexico. More regions will be available in the coming months(Facebook announced)

Reels allow you to share your content with your friends while giving you the opportunity to be discovered by the larger Facebook community.

For users 18 and older, reels on Facebook are set to public, but users can change the audience for each individual reel. Your friends may also see your reels in places like News Feeds.

After you share a reel you create, it will live in your Reels profile, where people can find any reels you’ve shared.

Public Instagram accounts will be asked to opt-in to share their Instagram Reels on Facebook without needing to link a Facebook account. Likes and comments will be shown both on the Instagram reel in both Instagram and Facebook.

Reels can be recorded in a series of clips (one at a time) or all at once using video uploads from your phone’s photo gallery or by uploading new video during the creation process.

To create Facebook Reels , follow these steps:

Tap Create from the Reels section on News Feed, or tap the camera icon in the top right corner when viewing a reel.

Add video to your reel

Tap the record button to add new video.

Tap the photo icon in the lower left corner to add video clips to your reel.

Add audio, text, effects, captions or a timer to your reel by tapping the icons on the right side of your screen. Learn more about creative tools for reels here. Tap Next when you’re finished.

Write a description for your reel.

Choose an audience for your reel.
Note: Reels are public by default and reels from business or creator pages can only post publicly.

Tap Share Reel to publish your reel.

Facebook Reels are a new way to create short, entertaining videos, get discovered by new audiences and be part of cultural moments on Facebook.

Effects and music can be added to your reel or use your own original audio, allowing you to bring your ideas to life and share them with your audience. Reels you create will appear in places like News Feed, the Reels section on Facebook, or your Reels profile.
