Sometimes it’s hard to get website content from our clients because they are so busy. For those that are happy to post on Facebook regularly we encourage them to make Facebook Reels. Reels can be embeded on the clients website.
To make a reel on Facebook: open the app, tap the plus icon (+), and select “Reel”.You can either record a new video with the camera or upload an existing video from your device. After adding your video, you can use the editor to add music, text, effects, and stickers before writing a description, choosing your audience, and sharing it.
Step 1: Start creating a new reel
- Open the Facebook app and tap the plus icon (+) in the top right or navigate to “Reels” from the menu.
- Select “Reel” from the options. You may need to grant the app access to your camera and microphone.
Step 2: Add video
- Record a new video: Tap the record button to start filming. You can tap and hold to record or release to stop.
- Upload an existing video: Tap the photo or gallery icon to select one or more videos from your device.
- Use a template: Select the “Templates” option to use a pre-designed format and add your own media to the placeholders.
Step 3: Edit your reel
- Tap the icons on the side of the screen to access editing tools.
- Add music: Tap the music icon to add a song from Facebook’s library.
- Add text, effects, or stickers: Use these tools to enhance your video.
- Trim your video: Click “Trim” to adjust the start and end points of your video.
Step 4: Share your reel
- Tap “Next” when you are finished editing.
- Write a description and add hashtags to help people find your reel.
- Choose your audience (Public, Friends, etc.). Note that reels are public by default, and business pages can only post publicly.
