Video is a top focus for Instagram right now as video engagement continues to grow.
But how significant is video on Instagram, and which formats are driving the most engagement?
Reels are seeing the most reach on the platform, by a notable margin. This chart from HypeAuditor shows that reels are the best option, at present, for maximizing reach and engagement in the app. Yet, on average, Reels content only represents 7.5% of a brand’s content (excluding Stories).
