About Instagram™ Video Reels for PC
Watch Instagram Reels on your computer in a side panel beside the page you have open. Instagram™ Video Reels for PC brings vertical browsing to your mouse and keyboard, with a dark interface inspired by the mobile experience.
Open the panel when you feel like watching videos, then close it from the extension menu. Sound and auto-scroll controls stay within reach, without a separate settings screen.
What you can do
- Move to the next or previous video with your mouse wheel, the up and down arrow keys, or the panel's navigation buttons.
- Click a video to pause or resume it. Double-click to like it.
- Read comments, write your own, reply to other comments, and expand nested replies.
- Like and unlike videos and comments.
- Save posts to your account or remove them from your saved posts.
- Repost a Reel from your account after confirming the action.
- Share by copying the link or using your system's sharing options when available. "Share on Instagram" opens the Reel in a tab so you can continue there.
- Reopen the navigation guide and refresh your feed from the panel header.
Getting started
1. After installing the extension, open Chrome's extensions menu, marked with a puzzle-piece icon. Pin this extension for easy access, then click its icon to open the popup, the small window with the controls.
2. Click "Open Reels". The side panel will appear beside your current page.
3. If you need to sign in, click "Log in to Instagram" inside the panel. Finish signing in on the Instagram tab and keep it open in the same Chrome profile. The waiting indicator stays visible until the extension detects your session and can load videos.
4. Browse with your mouse wheel or arrow keys. Open comments using the conversation icon, write your text, and click "Post". Choose "Reply" to answer someone. Enter posts your text; Shift+Enter adds a new line.
The popup controls
- "Open Reels" / "Close panel": show or hide the side panel.
- "Sound": turn audio on or mute videos.
- "Volume": set the audio level with the slider. If you cannot hear anything, check that "Sound" is on too.
- "Auto-scroll": move to the next video when the current one ends.
- "Rate extension": open the reviews page in a new tab to share your opinion.
- "Buy me a coffee": open Buy Me a Coffee in another tab if you would like to support the developer with a voluntary donation.
The interface is available in seven languages and follows Chrome's language setting. Requires Chrome 142 or later, an internet connection, and an active Instagram session in the same profile. Content and action availability depend on Instagram. If a verification request or temporary limit appears, follow the platform's instructions.
