Instagram has announced that it is expanding the Remix feature to all public videos. The Meta-owned company had first introduced Remix last year for its short-video format called Reels. It essentially enables a creator to ‘remix’ its own video with an existing Reel by the same user or others. The end product appears in a split view where audiences can watch two short clips stitched together. The latest update allows users to use ‘Remix’ with regular Instagram videos, and it’ll have a longer time limit.
