The Instagram Reels Video Extension Controller is a handy tool designed to enhance your Instagram Reels viewing experience. It enables video controls directly on Reels, posts, and reels pages by allowing mouse-over activation. Key features include division of areas on the reels page for better navigation, auto-opening of 'read more' sections to reveal full captions, and volume control with auto-save functionality.

Please note that unmuted autoplay is constrained by Chrome's autoplay policy, ensuring compliance with browser standards. The extension is continually improving, and user feedback is encouraged through likes, reviews, or direct contact for collaboration. Support and updates are available through the developer's link provided.

User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's ability to add video controls such as speeding up, seeking, and displaying descriptions beside Instagram Reels. It also supports fullscreen playback and offers an unmute feature. However, many report that the extension often mutes videos unexpectedly, doesn't work reliably due to Instagram updates, and has usability issues like unclear activation and misdirected icon clicks. Additional feature requests include support for Facebook Reels and background playback without pause. Overall, it improves control over Instagram Reels but suffers from functionality and user experience problems.

Pros

Displays video descriptions on the side, improving user experience.
Allows fullscreen playback and some zoom functionality.
Enables unmuting videos, enhancing audio control.
Useful for tracking and seeking within Instagram videos.

Cons

Frequently mutes videos automatically, which frustrates users.
Does not function properly or has stopped working for some users due to Instagram updates.
Lacks an easy or clear activation and has usability issues, such as clicking the icon redirecting to a developer page instead of options.
No support for Facebook Reels as requested by users.
Pauses videos when the browser window loses focus, preventing background listening.
