JAKARTA - Meta announced that they are bringing a new feature on Instagram, which is "more fun," the company said on Thursday, July 21.

Instagram is now bringing more and more new ways to collaborate through Reels, by extending the enhanced Remix feature.

First, Remix for Photos, in the coming weeks, you will be able to remix public photos. Then Meta extends the Remix layout, where you can create a green screen, horizontal or vertical split screen, or picture-in-picture reaction view to add your own video commentary to existing Reels.

In addition, if you remix your video with someone else's, the video that appears is your video combined with the other person's video.

But now, if you don't want your videos to be merged, you can add your clip after the original video, this will separate you and the person's video and play sequentially.

Not only that, if you run out of ideas, you can find template ideas by tapping the camera icon on the Reels tab. Interestingly, Instagram allows you to be able to record videos with the front and rear cameras simultaneously.

"In the coming weeks, new video posts that are less than 15 minutes long will be shared as Reels," said Meta.

However, if you post a video before these changes take effect, it will remain as a video and will not become Reels.

If your account is public, then the Reels you create may be eligible to be recommended and seen by more people on Instagram, provided the Reels must be less than 90 seconds long.

"We will also combine the videos and Reels tabs on your profile, so there will be one home for all your videos," concluded the company.
