What content can be posted as an Instagram Reel?

Instagram Reels must be created using a video file in one of the following formats: MOV and MP4. The video must be within 3 seconds - 15 minutes and less than 1GB in size. The maximum width for an Instagram Reel is 1920px

Additional publishing specifications may be found <a href="https://support.agorapulse.com/en/articles/8773203-publishing-image-and-video-specifications">here</a>.

After uploading a single video to an Instagram profile in the Add media section of the Publishing Composer, a post will automatically be classified as an Instagram Reel. ​ It is not possible to post an Instagram Reel with more than one video attached (or with any images attached). Any post that includes more than one file will automatically be classified as a Post (Carousel) post type.

Please Note: If a single video is uploaded to Agorapulse, the only post types available will be Reel (Default) or Story. A single video may not be added as Post (Carousel) post type.
