To do so, you need to create a reel first. Once you have created the reel, you should edit it. Once you are done editing, you should be able to share the reel with your followers. If you are wondering how to share a reel on Instagram, here are a few tips that can help you. Just keep reading to discover more!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_reel\"><\/span>Creating a reel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reels are a cool way to express yourself with photographs, videos, or even music. You can share your reel on Instagram stories, messages, or on your profile. To share a reel, first log into your Instagram account. Tap the Reels icon at the bottom of your profile or on the home screen. From there, choose an image and tap the &#8220;Add&#8221; or &#8220;Share&#8221; button. This will enable you to share the reel with other people.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve decided to post your reel, make sure to choose the option that lets you add collaborators to your Story. This option allows you to add a person or multiple people to collaborate with you and appear in their feeds. You can also save a draft for later viewing by clicking the &#8220;drafts&#8221; icon at the bottom of the main Live\/Story\/Reels tab. After posting your reel, make sure to tag your collaborators and share it with your friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sharing_a_reel\"><\/span>Sharing a reel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to share your reels with friends and family, it&#8217;s easy to do on Instagram. Besides posting it to your story, you can also share it with others in group chat or your close friends list. Open the Instagram app and tap the Reels icon at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down to find the reels you&#8217;d like to share and tap the share icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>You can share up to 15 seconds worth of footage in a single Instagram story. Keep in mind that Instagram limits reels to 60 seconds. As a result, if you&#8217;d like to share a longer reel, it will take up more than 650 MB of space. You can also share a reel with more than one person, but remember to keep it short. It&#8217;s better to keep it to six seconds or less.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_reel_to_a_story\"><\/span>Adding a reel to a story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best way to add a reel to your Instagram story is to make it longer than 15 seconds. To make this easy, you&#8217;ll need the latest version of the Instagram app, as well as a reel that&#8217;s longer than 15 seconds. Once you have your reel, go to the sharing list, select it, and then tap &#8220;Add reel.&#8221; You&#8217;ll then be able to edit the story, adding text, GIFs, stickers, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Another great thing about Reels is that they can be a big help when trying to increase reach. Reels can include audio, location, and even a &#8220;Recommend to Facebook&#8221; button. The best way to add a Reel to your Instagram story is to make sure the video is the right size and aspect ratio, otherwise it may end up blurry. The ideal aspect ratio for Reels is 9:16, with a recommended size of 1080 x 1920 pixels. Adding a reel to your Instagram story is easy, and Instagram makes it easy to track its performance. It&#8217;s easy to use analytics for Reels in Instagram Insights, especially if you have a Business account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_reel\"><\/span>Editing a reel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to edit your reels on Instagram, you&#8217;ll find that you can do so in a couple of ways. You can change the cover photo, crop your profile image, add a caption, and tag collaborators. You can also choose to share your reel in your Instagram feed or opt not to share it. If you want to share your reels with everyone, however, you should always keep the sharing option switched on.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re trying to make a highlight reel or a highlight video, Instagram gives you complete control over the creation and editing process. You can even reorder your stories as well as edit individual clips, GIFs, and text. If you want to add a caption to your reel, you can also choose to add a cover photo. By following these steps, you can edit your Instagram story reel in no time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keeping_track_of_a_reels_performance\"><\/span>Keeping track of a reel&#8217;s performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard about Instagram Reels Insights. The numbers in this section tell you how many times your Reels have been viewed. Some users may even watch them multiple times. The more times your Reels are viewed, the more people are likely to like them. You can use these metrics to improve your content strategy and create Reels that are sure to catch the attention of your followers.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping track of a reel&#8217;s engagement on Instagram is vital for the success of your campaign. Your Reels must be compelling and interesting in order to attract viewers and drive traffic to your profile. You should also look for content that is trendier than the norm. If you&#8217;re not following the trends in your industry, you may be missing out on a huge opportunity. Luckily, Instagram&#8217;s @creators account can help you figure out which content is trending and what doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UQTKqbO5bhM\" width=\"466\" height=\"260\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Share a Reel on Instagram Instagram users can view reels of other users.
