With Instagram's Remix function, which users can access by tapping on the three dot menu of the Reel they want to remix, creators can record a new video stitched to the original one. Once recorded, users can control the original video's volume, their own video's volume, and record a voiceover.
Only newly Reels will be automatically available for Remix, per a statement from Instagram, but users can choose to enable the Remix function on their old Reels.
