‘Story’ option at the bottom of the screen.
Once you have accessed the option to create Instagram Reels, you can
either record a video on spot by clicking on the record button, or choose
a video from your gallery. Then, you can add audio that goes with your
video content. You can also add stickers, Gifs, text and more, similar to
how you create Instagram stories. Once done, you can preview the final

Note: According to Instagram, since you’re a business account, you
