Facebook reels for private profile data are available across the Emplifi platform components:
-

-
Facebook reels are only available for private profiles and do not cover public data.
-
Facebook’s Video Views metric implementation in Facebook Reels may return an empty value.
We flagged the issue with Meta and are in touch with them in an effort to resolve it. If you believe that you are affected by this issue, contact Emplifi Support. -
Facebook reels use just one video views metric. No other data is included and FB reels do not support the organic/boosted split. This is down to API limitations. As a result, we are using the blue_reels_play_count mapped into Emplifi's video_views metric.
