Facebook announces that all videos on its platform will soon be shared as reels | TechCrunch
Key takeaways:
Facebook will soon share all uploaded videos as Reels, removing the distinction between traditional video posts and Reels.
The “Video” tab on Facebook will be renamed to the “Reels” tab, although this won’t affect video recommendations.
Reels will no longer have length or format restrictions, even horizontal or long-form videos will be treated as Reels.
Users will go through a simplified publishing process and be able to control who sees their Reels by selecting audience settings.
While the update aims to streamline video sharing, it may frustrate users who prefer traditional horizontal or long-form videos separated from short-form content.
