Posting Reels to Facebook Pages
Reels are short-form video content, and they can really boost your engagement on their platform.
How to schedule a Facebook Reel in SocialBee
Reel direct posting is available in SocialBee for Facebook Pages ONLY. Additionally, the Reels should be under 90 seconds in duration and have an aspect ratio of 9:16.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
Once you have entered the Post Editor, make sure to have Facebook selected as the social media profile to which you want to post.
Below the text box, you will find two buttons. Click on "Customize for each profile."
Then, at the top-right corner, you will be able to choose where you want your posts to be shared from the drop-down menu – in this case, it should be Reel.
Add your caption and reel.
Save your post as “Approved” or as Draft. See here the difference.
