Placing reels on the Instagram profile level allows you to give more prominence to your videos on the social network, since this is the main section for you to visit your profile for the first time.
To display the reel already published in the profile level again, simply access the post settings. The content will appear next to other photos and videos in the Feed, and can also be pinned.
Next, follow the tutorial on how to place Reels videos in the main section of your Instagram profile after publication.
1. Open your Instagram profile and access the bottom of Reels
Open the Instagram app on your cell phone and tap your photo, at the bottom right, to access your profile. Next, tap on the Reels button, the center icon above the profile level.
2. Tap on a Reels video and open the three-point menu
Select the Reels video you plan to add to the feed and tap on it. Next, touch the three-point icon, on the bottom edge directly, to open the menu.
3. Enter “Manage” to see the reel settings
Select “Manage” to see the Reels video configuration options.
4. Tap “Add to profile level” to conclude
Tap the “Add Profile Level” option to place the reel in the main section of your profile. This option also allows you to flip the reel to a higher profile level, if it has been removed previously.
Can you fix a reel in the main level of your profile?
Sim. A reel can be fixed after being placed on the main level, in the same way that you can fix a photo or video on Instagram. It is also possible to fix a reel as soon as it shows the Reels.
Can I place a reel of other people in the lower profile level?
Instagram barely allows you to place reels created by you in the main level of your profile. The only exception is for collaborative posts, done in partnership between you and other people. These contents can also be added to grade.
Meanwhile, you can remix a reel on Instagram and generate a new content, which can be posted on your profile. Another option is to download a reel from the social network app and post the video with a watermark indicating the original breeder.
Or does Instagram decide to pull a reel from the profile rating again?
Sim. To pull a reel from the Instagram profile level, access the video and touch the three-point icon, on the top edge of the canvas. Next, touch the “Remove profile level” option. The removed video will continue to be displayed in the feed of your followers.
Instagram does not set a limit for adding or removing reels from the main profile level. Meanwhile, the social network can identify various actions repeated in a short period as suspicious activity and block your account.
Is it possible to place reels in the feed without sending them to the profile level?
Sim. You can create a new reel on Instagram without checking the option to publish directly in the grade of your profile, the video will normally be displayed in the Feed of your followers, and can also be played as a suggestion in the Reels and Explore guides.
Here it is worth explaining that the main Instagram Feed is the initial screen of the social network, where you see the updates of the people you follow. Upgrade your profile to the main section of your profile, where your photos and videos are displayed.
