Users will be able to modify any video content on the app, not just short-form reels videos. The company launched its version of TikTok Duets. The feature lets users record their reels video alongside a video from another user, as a means of interacting, reacting, collaborating, or highlighting other content on the platform. Any public video on the app is fair game. The feature won't work on older content, but it applies to videos published publicly from this point forward.
The company said that the expansion made sense as it was watched by users. It wanted to make it easier for creators to collaborate with others. Collabs, Voiceover, Effects and Audio Tools are included in the set of creative tools that creators will still have access to when creating a non-Reels video.
Users can use the new feature by tapping the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the public video. You can choose to make a new video, record your answer, or take a video from your phone's camera roll. The other person's video can be downloaded as part of the remix. The video will be visible wherever you share it.
It is not clear if all of the creators will be open to the idea of having their video content repurposed in this way. Those who don't want to participate will have their videos changed from their account settings. This is available under the "Reels and Remix Controls" setting, which allows you to turn on or off remixes for both reels and feed videos. The new feature requires all users to be on.
If the creator chooses to leave the setting on, they will be able to stop the remixes on a per-video basis.

With the launch of remixes for public videos, it seems that everyone with a public account intends to be a creator and is open to the idea of having their content repurposed by other users. That is not the case. A number of users of the photo sharing service may have simply allowed their accounts to default to public during their initial sign-up, without realizing that doing so would expose their content to a much wider audience.
In order to better compete with TikTok, users are automatically opting in to have their content changed. When it launched its own TikTok rival, YouTube Shorts, it allowed creators to sample audio from other people's videos for use in their own. It has taken things a step further.

Users will now be able to highlight the topic, date and time of a scheduled Live on their profiles. This will make it easier for users to view and sign up for Lives, and creators won't have to create a feed post to promote the event.
The new features are available to all users.
