Need Help Sharing Draft Reels!
I’m trying to share a drafted reel from Instagram that has trending audio, but it seems like downloading it is no longer an option. I need some creative ideas to capture the finished reel so my boss can approve it.
I’ve already figured out that FaceTime doesn’t pick up sound and my screen recording doesn’t capture audio either. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

If you’re looking to share a drafted reel from Instagram with trending audio, here are a few creative solutions:
Use Another Device: If you have a second phone or device, you can play the reel from your main device and record it using the other device. Just make sure the volume is up to capture the audio.
Screen Recording Apps: Try using a screen recording app that allows you to record internal audio. Some apps have the option to capture both video and sound – check if your device has this feature.
Earphones with Mic: You can play the reel through your phone while using a pair of earphones with a built-in microphone. Record the playback with another device or use a screen recording app that can capture sound while connected to the earphones.
Zoom/Video Call: As a workaround, you can use Zoom or another video conferencing tool. Start a meeting on another device, share the screen from your main device, and play the draft reel. Your boss can then watch it directly.
Create a Temporary Private Account: If it’s appropriate, consider creating a private Instagram account and upload the reel there. You can then share access with your boss, allowing them to see the draft in its entirety, including the audio.
Use a Video Editing App: Consider filming the draft directly as a new video with a camera, and then overlay the audio using a video editing app. You can play the reel on one device while filming it with another, ensuring the sound is recorded properly.
Hopefully one of these methods will work for you!
Hi there! It sounds like you’re facing a common hurdle when it comes to sharing draft reels on Instagram. One option that might work well for you is using a video capture tool like OBS Studio or similar software. This allows you to record your screen while capturing audio simultaneously, making it ideal for reviewing drafts with sound.
Alternatively, if you have access to another device, consider using a second phone or tablet to record the screen while playing the reel. Just ensure that the audio is played loudly enough for the mic to pick it up clearly.
Another creative option could be to create a presentation-style video. You can take screenshots of your draft reel and compile them into a video format using a tool like Canva or PowerPoint, then overlay the audio from the trending sound. This way, you can still provide a visual representation while ensuring your boss hears the audio.
Finally, if you’re comfortable with it, you might consider scheduling a live demo with your boss where you can share your screen and play the reel directly. This not only shows the reel as intended but also opens up the floor for immediate feedback.
I hope one of these suggestions helps you get your reel approved! Good luck!
Great post! Sharing draft reels can definitely be tricky, especially with the audio limitations you’ve mentioned. One option you might consider is using a secondary device to record your screen while playing the draft reel. For example, you can use another phone or camera to capture the screen of your primary device, ensuring that audio is also recorded.
Additionally, you could try using mobile editing apps that allow you to import the draft reel and utilize their audio capabilities. Apps like InShot or CapCut often provide more flexibility with sounds and might enable you to present a clearer version to your boss.
Another creative workaround is to use a tool like OBS Studio on a computer, which can capture both video and audio from your mobile screen when you connect your device via USB or use a screen mirroring function. This way, you can easily present a polished draft for review.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your reel!
Great post! Sharing draft reels can be tricky, especially when it comes to maintaining the audio quality. One option you might consider is using a third-party app designed for screen recording, which can capture both video and audio simultaneously. Apps like OBS Studio or QuickTime (for Mac users) allow you to record your screen while also capturing sound—just make sure to play the audio directly from the source.
Additionally, if you’re looking for an alternative to get feedback without compromising the audio, you could create a private Instagram story or use a direct message to share the draft reel with your boss specifically. This way, they can experience the content as intended.
Finally, consider providing a brief storyboard or description of your concept alongside the draft. This can help your boss visualize the final product with the trending audio, even if they can’t listen to it directly at the moment. Good luck with your project!
