Reel

A Reel is a short-form vertical video format used on Instagram and related social platforms.

Reels are often used for quick tutorials, trends, product demos, storytelling, and entertainment.

Performance can depend on the hook, pacing, audio, captions, topic, and how quickly the video gives viewers a reason to keep watching.

For Reels, teams often test the opening frame, first line, video length, pacing, text overlays, audio, and ending because small creative changes can affect watch behavior.
