- Watch it, then share it. Your version can go to your feed or stories whenever you are ready.
Three everyday reasons to try it
Sam's clothes drive. Sam, a volunteer, was collecting warm clothes for a local shelter and needed people to notice. He made a short clip of himself from a video trend and posted it to his feed with the drop-off address. Neighbors reacted, and two friends repeated the trend to pass the message on.
Mia's client after a big change. Mia, a hairdresser, gave a regular client a completely new cut. The client added a fresh selfie to "Me in the photo", made her own version of a video trend at home and posted it. Mia was among the first to react, and two other clients asked in the comments: "How did you do that?"
Tom's first tomatoes. Tom grew tomatoes on his balcony for the first time and wanted more than a still shot to celebrate.
