Instagram Reels Could Finally Support Videos As Long As 10 Minutes: All Details – News18

Instagram Reels might quickly allow you to add content material that’s greater than a minute. The Meta-owned platform is engaged on an extended model of Reels, the supposed quick video function, and lets customers add movies as much as 10 minutes.

These plans haven’t been formally confirmed by Meta or Instagram but however going by the developments, it wouldn’t be stunning to have a 10-minute Reels video within the close to future.

The particulars concerning the function have been noticed by Alessandro Paluzzi who’s a developer. He managed to seize screenshots of the Reels app the place you have got two side-by-side pages, one to document a 3-minute video, and the opposite lets you add a 10-minute video. “#Instagram is engaged on the power to create #Reels as much as 10 minutes lengthy,” he said.

It goes without saying that if Reels does get support for 10-minute-long videos, it moves away from being a rival to YouTube Shorts, and goes in the direction of YouTube. TikTok will also be a competition for Reels as the ByteDance-owned platform already lets its users upload 10-minute videos for everyone, while those who pay for the platform get the option to upload 20-minute videos as well.

It is interesting to see Reels consider longer video formats, especially when the market has gradually shifted to short videos for entertainment. But it is likely that Instagram feels that having longer videos on Reels could help with expanding its business and bring creators who can connect with their fan base and followers, but also engage with them in different ways. Supporting short videos is definitely lighter on the systems so Instagram will have to upgrade manifold to be able to serve the new feature whenever it rolls out.

The platform is also looking for new ways to make all its features interactive. The Meta-owned products are going through their cross-integration but even then you feel that Instagram has set itself as an app that can do everything and find takers for it.
