Title: All Videos On Facebook Will Soon Be Shared As Reels
Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/06/17/2027...
Facebook announced it will soon share all videos as reels by default,
regardless of their length or orientation. "Up until now, users have been
able to share both video posts and reels," notes TechCrunch. From the report:
The company is also renaming the "Video" tab on its platform to the "Reels"
tab. The update won't change what videos are recommended to you, Facebook
says. [...] The idea behind the changes is to streamline the video-sharing
format on the social network. It won't be the first time that a Meta-owned
platform has done so, as Instagram began automatically converting new video
posts under 15 minutes into reels back in 2022. "Previously, you'd upload a
video to Feed or post a reel using different creative flows and tools for
each format," Facebook explained in a blog post. "Now, we're bringing these
experiences together with a simplified publishing flow that gives you access
to even more creative tools. We'll also give you control over your audience
setting of who sees your reels." [...] The company says it will gradually
roll out the changes globally over the coming months.
