Meta introduced a new feature to Facebook Reels where you can schedule your Reels using Meta Creator Studio. Creator Studio makes it possible to schedule Reels in three simple steps, one just needs to have a Facebook page in order to access it and make that happen.
The easiest option for scheduling Reels content in advance is done in three simple steps. It might not be quite as convenient as scheduling Reels in the Facebook mobile app, as it does require a desktop browser, but it would be sufficient to get the reels done.
Here’s how to schedule Reels on Facebook using Creator Studio.
Upload Video
The first step to scheduling Facebook Reels is to log into Creator Studio. If you haven’t used Creator Studio, you can log in with the same credentials as your Facebook Page. There are no additional sign-up steps required. Then click “Create reel,” which prompts you to upload a video.
The button’s label is deceptive because you’re not creating the content inside Creator Studio. You need to make the video ahead of time and put it on your desktop computer.
Upload a vertical video as it is for Reel format but you can upload in any way, any size, and can optimize later.
Optimize Video
After uploading the video, you can optimize it for Facebook Reels in Creator Studio. You can reframe horizontal videos to either vertical or square. Creator Studio will display a preview on the side of the screen so you can see how the video looks in its new shape.

Schedule Video As Facebook Reel
Lastly, add a caption to the Reel and schedule it to post. You’ll also have the option to publish it immediately.
Alternatively, if you change your mind about publishing, you can save the Reel as a draft during this step.
You can track the performance of all published Reels within Creator Studio.
Moreover, Instagram Reels are a key focus area for Meta with native scheduling capabilities in development.
