Video is core to Facebook \u2013 short videos could be posted to Feed as early as 2007. Nowadays, our unique cross-section of Reels, long-form and Live content brings people to Facebook to watch videos about the things they like, new stuff they\u2019d want to know about, and to engage with real people with similar interests.<\/p>\n
We continue to invest heavily in video, so today we\u2019re sharing the latest ways we\u2019re making it possible for people to create, explore, and engage with video on Facebook.<\/p>\n
Video Editing Made Easier<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve started to roll out updates that will bring more Reels editing tools to Feed, making it even easier to create dynamic videos on Facebook. Whether posting a video for friends and family to see, or trying to reach people who share similar interests, our video editing tools will make it possible for people to express themselves in new ways via Reels or long-form videos.<\/p>\n

- Seamless editing:<\/strong> We brought audio, music and text all into one place on Reels, making it easier to layer and time creative elements to create the perfect reel. And now, it\u2019s also available on Meta Business Suite for reels and for video on Feed.<\/li>\n
- More clip editing tools:<\/strong> Get creative with your video by speeding up, reversing or replacing your clips.<\/li>\n
- Enhanced audio:<\/strong> Mix the right sound into your video by exploring and adding music and audio clips, recording voiceovers and reducing unwanted noise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nPeople also now have the ability to upload HDR videos<\/a> from their phone to Reels and for that video to play back in full HDR, the first of our efforts to bring true HDR video support to our family of apps.<\/p>\n
All Videos in One Place on Facebook<\/h2>\n
We\u2019re also making it simpler to explore and engage with the best videos on Facebook \u2013 whether you\u2019re looking for popular reels, long-form videos from top creators or Live content.<\/p>\n
The Video tab, previously known as Facebook Watch, is now the one-stop shop for everything video on Facebook, including Reels, long-form and Live content. The Video tab will look familiar \u2013 you can scroll vertically through a personalized feed that recommends all types of video content \u2013 but will also feature new horizontal-scroll reels sections that highlight recommended reels, so you can quickly jump into short-form video. You\u2019ll see Video as a tab in the shortcut bar soon: on iOS, this bar is found at the bottom of the app, and on Android, it\u2019s found at the top. The tabs in the shortcut bar change based on the parts of the app you use the most.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nDiscover Popular Videos on Facebook<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve redesigned video Explore to help you discover and dive deeper into popular video topics. You can find Explore by tapping the search icon in the Video tab. Here you\u2019ll see a variety of reels, long-form and live videos related to relevant topics and hashtags. We use a mix of human curation and machine learning to select topics and videos that are popular and surface the ones we think you will enjoy and find interesting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nEngage with Instagram Reels on Facebook<\/h2>\n
The ability to watch Instagram Reels on Facebook has helped many Instagram creators reach more people \u2013 even for creators who don\u2019t have an active Facebook profile. It also lets people enjoy the best of Instagram and Facebook Reels all in one place.<\/p>\n
Now on Facebook, you can view and write comments on Instagram Reels that have been recommended to you on Facebook without needing to switch between apps. To get started, you can add your Facebook and Instagram accounts to Accounts Center<\/a>. This makes it even easier to connect with the things and people that you care about, regardless of which app you use.<\/p>\n
