Description
Enjoy Reels in the side panel: browse, comment, and control playback from your PC. Watch Instagram Reels on your computer in a side panel beside the page you have open. Instagram™ Video Reels for PC brings vertical browsing to your mouse and keyboard, with a dark interface inspired by the mobile experience. Open the panel when you feel like watching videos, then close it from the extension menu. Sound and auto-scroll controls stay within reach, without a separate settings screen.
