The composition is ready for review.
Before you start

Under Format, choose Reels.
Upload a vertical MP4 or MOV video under Media and optionally enter Caption.
Review the media, then choose immediate publishing or scheduling in a separate step.
Check your result
The composition is ready for review.
What you need to know
- Captions allow up to 2,200 characters. Switching to Story clears the caption; switching to a single-media format removes excess media from the composition.
- Final media acceptance depends on Meta. The local picker may accept files the network rejects.
