While watching a Reel, you can easily follow the creator, comment on their post, and share it with your friends. Facebook is also testing a way for Instagram users to have these recommended on the main Facebook app. This hints that the Reels feature may be fully integrated between the two apps in the future.
They will have support for AR effects, timers, countdowns, controlling playback speed, putting together multiple clips, and adding external audio. Reels will be visible publicly to users over 18, but you can change your audience anytime through the settings.
