Product Release Notes: Instagram Reels as a Source

Fama is excited to introduce a new premium source: Reels as a Source! Building on our commitment to provide comprehensive online screening solutions, this feature allows users to screen Reels for misconduct in their Fama Plus reports. This addition to our premium sources broadens the scope of our online and social media screening, giving you deeper insights into candidate behavior and potential risks.

What to Know:

  • Reels as a Source: Customers can choose to add Reels to Fama Plus reports for an additional charge. With the premium source, Reels content will be included when Instagram is screened.
  • How Reels Content is Screened: Like Fama’s standard sources, our technology will screen Reels for Fama’s 8 misconduct flags or the behaviors that you have identified in your Behavior Kits. 
  • Comprehensive Content Capture:
    • Text Transcription: Complete transcription of video content, including song lyrics if music is used.
    • Captions, Hashtags, and Emojis: All relevant text elements, such as captions and hashtags, will be captured and analyzed.
    • Cover Image: The cover image of the Reel will be included in the report.
    • Recent Activity: Up to 1,000 of the most recent Reels, including those within multiple image uploads, will be scraped and reviewed.
  • What’s Not Included:
    • Video Screenshots: Reels content does not include screenshots of the video.
    • Private Accounts: Posts from private accounts are not accessible and therefore not included in the screening.

Subscription Requirements:

Reels as a Source is a premium feature and your company must purchase the add-on to access the check type that includes this feature. Please contact your Account Manager to add Reels to your Fama reports.
