Your reel cannot contain someone else’s content or be owned by someone else.

Your reel cannot be watermarked with any third-party platform’s mark, name or logo.

How do I remix a reel on Facebook?
Reels are only available on the Facebook app for iPhone and Android. They aren’t yet available to everyone.
Remixing a reel on Facebook allows you to create a new reel inspired by someone else’s reel. Your reel will be shown with the original reel. It’ll use the audio from the original reel unless you replace it with your own original audio. The original reel’s creator will be credited to your reel. As you begin creating your reel, you’ll see the original one on the left.
To remix a reel:
- While watching the reel that you want to remix, tap.
- Tap Remix this reel.

Bear in mind that:
- A reel’s creator can choose to allow remixes of their reel and can change this at any time. Only reels shared as the public can be remixed.
- If a reel’s creator deletes their reel or their Facebook account, all remixes of it will be deleted.
- If a reel’s creator changes the audience of their reel to an audience other than Public for longer than 24 hours, remixes of that reel will be deleted.
- If a reel’s creator disables remixing of their reel, any existing remixes of it will not be deleted. New remixes can’t be created.
- Disabling remixing of your reel does not affect your original audio, which anyone can use. Learn more about how your audio in reels is shared on Facebook.
