Reels can be recorded in a series of clips (one at a time), all at once, or using video uploads from your gallery. Record the first clip by pressing and holding the capture button. You'll see a progress indicator at the top of the screen as you record. Stop recording to end each clip.

With Reels, you can record and edit short videos. Learn how to add music, effects and voiceovers to the clips you record, manage who can see your reels or use your audio, and discover creators on Instagram.
