Washington: Seeing people's craze for reels Facebook has decided to allow users to post short-form videos from third-party apps.

With'Sharing to Reels' feature, people will be able to share short videos directly to Facebook easily, TechCrunch reported.

"Once integrated, third-party apps will have a Reels button so people can share short videos, then customise with Reels editing tools like audio, text, effects, captions and stickers," said John McCarthy, Meta's director of product management, in a blog post.

He added,"Instead of downloading their video content and uploading it later, they can now create and share video seamlessly with one tap of a button."
