Reels make their debut on Facebook
Let’s face it: Short-form video is here to stay. Meta recently released Facebook Reels to all users, utilizing the enormous audience to push video even more to audiences around the globe.
Even though it’s yet again another channel to create content for, don’t stress—it’s the same thing as Instagram Reels. Don’t be afraid to repurpose content.
