Instagram offers a good alternative to TikTok with the so called "Reel" function. With Reels it is also possible to record short video sequences with a maximum of 15 seconds and post them in the story.
If you have not yet discovered the function in your Instagram profile, you can create such a reel using our instructions below. Please proceed as follows:
