While TikTok has been attacked from all directions and suffered bans in several countries, Instagram has introduced Reels to provide an alternative to TikTok. With Reels, you can create short videos similar to TikTok. Recently, Instagram added a feature more like TikTok to its app, called Instagram Remix. This allows you to upload a video along with another user’s video, such as a collaborative video. Here is a complete guide to using Instagram reels with Remix.

How to remix Instagram drums
1. Open the Instagram Reels video you want to mix. You can open it from the Drums tab or from the user’s profile.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the lower right corner and select “Remix This Drum” from the list of options.
3. There are two options for reel video mixing: record new video and select already recorded video as response.
4. Additionally, you can add effects, stopwatch, retouch and other available tools to use while recording video.
5. When you are done shuffling the reels, tap Next and share your post.
In particular, you can also add stickers, be able to add a comment to the roll, adjust the audio mix between the original and the video, etc.
How to enable Remix for older drums
There is one thing Instagram users must keep in mind: you cannot remix videos that were uploaded before April 1, 2021. However, you can manually enable and allow people to remix old videos.
1. Open any of your old Instagram videos that you want to share for remixing.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the lower right corner and simply select “Enable Remix”.
3. That’s it!
Likewise, you can follow the same steps and turn off remixing on a per-drum basis. In the 3-dot menu, select the “Deactivate Remix” button.
How to turn off Remix for your profile
Remixing drums and collaborating on someone else’s movie sounds amazing, but what if someone messes with your drums? To avoid such scenarios, Instagram also allows you to permanently disable Instagram Remix for your profile.
1. Open your profile page and tap the hamburger menu in the upper right corner.
2. Go to “Settings -> Privacy”.
3. Tap Reels and uncheck “Enable Remix”. This will disable remixing for your profile and all reels on your Instagram.
Ending
You can find Instagram Reels Remix surprisingly similar to TikTok Duet, but there are some notable differences. You cannot remix a remix on Instagram. However, you can create a TikTok Duo of another duo on the platform. Also, while you can’t go back to the original duo on TikTok, you can go back to the original drums on Instagram.
Then you should check out some of these apps to make your Instagram Stories stand out.
