Meta is making a change to how sharing videos works on Facebook.
In “the coming months,” however, “all videos on Facebook will be shared as reels,” according to a blog post.
Additionally, Meta will rename the Video tab to be the Reels tab.
The changes to Facebook videos follow Mark Zuckerberg saying this year that he wanted to make Facebook “way more culturally influential than it is today” and to get back to “some OG Facebook.” The company introduced a new full-screen mobile video player for Facebook last year.
Meta has also pushed reels in a big way on Instagram, and as of January, reels on that platform can be up to three minutes long.
