To fully embed IG Reels, open that particular IG page up in an actual web browser instead of opening it in the IG app.
Then filter the posts by clicking on the grid option circled in red
Find the post you are trying to embed on The Coli. In this case it is the one I have circled in red
Then, click ONCE in your web browser’s address field, circled in red
It will become fully highlighted in blue as shown below
Copy the highlighted link by whatever means your model phone will allow, come back to the Coli, press the media symbol circled in red, and paste the link.
Then click “Embed” and you’re finished
These same exact steps also work for “Facebook Reels” and “YouTube Shorts” as well, two other types of links that act stupid when you try to embed them straight from the app.
EDIT - f*ck it I’ll just make this a thread. I see this way too often and I’m sickuuud.
