New videos will be published as Reels 3n2516
At the beginning of July, when the company Goal announced the goals for the second half of 2022, one of the highlights was the change in the format of Instagram videos. Until then, you could choose whether your video would be published in the traditional format on your profile or if it would have the Reels, introduced on the social network in 2020 in response to the competitor's success TikTok. Now there will be no option. All videos will be Reels, with the exception of videos that are longer than 15 minutes.
In practice, this means that if you have a public profile, anyone you can find your videos. Not only to view them, but also to use your original audio in new publications. Also, Public Reels can be used by other s with the new function Remix. If you don't feel comfortable, you can disable Remix in the settings of each real published or change privacy from your profile to closed.

The new feature appears to have been inspired by several trends from the last few years and, of course, TikTok. You will be able to “remix” public photos and videos. This means you can, for example, make Reels by easily adding photos and videos of friends and the creators you follow.
Instagram suggests some editing formats (template), which allow you, for example, to record your reaction and display it alongside the original video, or record comments on a video and add them to the end of the original video, as if it were a direct response. The possibilities are many. You can use this function to make comparisons, show that you have learned techniques published by others, share memories, recombine music arrangements or dub scenes with ease, among many other ways of publishing.

In addition to the aforementioned changes, Instagram also announced new templates for the Reels. You will be able to leave some formats pre-saved and use them whenever you want, replacing the original videos and photos with others. The app will also add the function Dual, allowing you to use a front and rear camera simultaneously to record a scene and your reaction, for example.
Conclusion 60664y
The changes reinforce that the company is chasing its share of the market that has migrated to TikTok in recent years. In addition to policy changes and new tools, Reels will soon be monetized as well.
On the one hand, changes can be good, especially if you create content and want your publications to have greater reach – or if you are a fan of the new editing formats. They allow diverse possibilities of creation in the area of comedy, music, makeup, fashion, reviews, criticism, debates, among many others.
From another point of view, there are privacy and exposure issues that can be negative for some s, as people you don't know will be able to use your image however they want in the new formats. If this is your case, don't forget to change the settings to prevent your videos from being public or being remixed by others.
