Instagram goes the TikTok way as it launches Reels Remix

Instagram users can now use ‘Remix this Reel’ similar to the ‘Duet’ feature used by TikTok users.

‘Remix a reel’ provides a way for users to upload a video next to another user’s, building on top of the original clip.

The feature is already popular on TikTok, often for dance challenges, under the ‘Duet’ function.

To remix a reel, tap the three-dot menu on a reel and select ‘Remix this Reel.’ From there, you can record your reel or upload a pre-recorded footage.

You can also control the volume for the original audio or your recorded audio, and add a voiceover, along with other editing functions.

Only new reels will have remixes enabled automatically, but if you already have a reel that you want people to be able to remix, you can manually turn that on by tapping that three-dot menu on your own video and select ‘Enable Remixing.’
