Takeaways
- Trial reels are a new way to try out content and see what performs best by sharing reels with people who don't follow you.
- By sharing reels to non-followers, trial reels give you the freedom to explore new formats and help take the guesswork out of how your content will perform.
Today, we're introducing trial reels, a new way to try out content and see what performs best by sharing reels with people who don't follow you.
If you've ever wanted to experiment with new ideas without worrying about how your followers might react, trial reels are the tool you've been looking for. Trial reels help take the guesswork out of how your content will perform.
See If Content Resonates Before Sharing It With Your Followers
We often hear from creators that they feel nervous about posting too much or trying out content that's outside of their niche on Instagram, for fear of it not resonating with their followers.
Trial reels will be shown to non-followers first. Now, if you want to try out a new genre, storytelling format or topic, you can easily get a gut check on how your content might perform. If you feel good about a trial reel and how it's performing, you can choose to share it with your followers with one tap or decide to set up the reel so that once the trial is over, if it's performed well, it gets automatically shared with your followers.
How to Share Trial Reels on Instagram
To share a reel as a trial, simply take the usual steps to create a reel, but before sharing, tap the toggle to turn on "Trial." After sharing your trial reel, you can find it by visiting your profile, where it will appear alongside any drafts you have.
Only you will be able to see that your reel is a trial. It will not be shown to other people on your profile's main grid or Reels tab unless you later decide to share it with everyone, and your followers won't see the trial reel in their feed or Reels tab.
