# How to schedule Instagram Trial Reels

### DesktopStart

Trial Reels allow you to test how a Reel performs before showing it to your full audience. Instagram first shares the Reel with a small group of non-followers. Based on how they interact with it, Instagram then decides whether to push it to a wider audience.

This helps you understand what type of content works best without affecting your main profile’s performance.

||| Instagram Trial Reels are currently available only to accounts with at least 1,000 followers. Accounts that do not meet this requirement cannot use the feature.

# How to schedule Instagram Trial Reels:

* Click the **Create** button.
* Choose an Instagram account, upload a video, and select **Reel**.
* From the available options, click **Post as Trial Reel**.

||| Keep in mind that when you enable Trial Reel, the Reel will not be posted to your feed.

* Or enable **Automatically add to your profile if it performs well**. If the Reel performs well, usually within 72 hours, it will automatically be shared with your audience.
