To manage a video you've already posted or shared in Meta via Business Suite, you can edit the post details or delete the post entirely. This process is typically done through the Meta Business Suite on a computer and allows you to modify the information associated with the video, like the caption or tags, rather than altering the video content itself.
Here's a breakdown of the steps based on using Meta Business Suite:
Step-by-Step Guide to Managing Your Video Posts
Follow these simple steps to access options for editing or deleting your video posts and Reels:
- Log in: First, you need to access your business account by logging into Meta Business Suite.
- Access Content: From the left-hand menu on a computer interface, click on Content. This section displays all your published and scheduled posts, including videos and Reels.
- Find Video: To locate the video or Reel you wish to manage, choose the Posts & reels filter or section within the Content area. Scroll through your content until you find the specific video.
- Open Options: Once you've found the video or clip, click the ... (three dots) icon located next to it. This action opens a dropdown menu with various options for that specific piece of content.
- Choose Action: The options menu will provide choices for managing your video post.
- To permanently remove the video post from your page or profile, click Delete post.
- To modify the details associated with the video, click Edit post.
- Save Changes (if editing): If you selected Edit post, make the necessary modifications (see below for examples). When you have finished making your edits, click Save to apply them.
Understanding 'Edit Post' for Videos
When you choose to Edit post for a video or Reel in Meta Business Suite, you are primarily editing the details surrounding the video content itself, not the video file's visuals or audio.
Common aspects you can typically edit include:
- Caption: Update the text that accompanies your video.
- Tags: Add or remove tags for people or pages.
- Location: Modify or add a location tag.
- Audience Restrictions: Adjust who can see the post based on age, location, etc.
- Thumbnail: For some video types, you might be able to select or upload a different thumbnail image.
This functionality is essential for correcting typos, updating information, refining your targeting, or improving the overall presentation of your video content within its post on Meta platforms like Facebook or Instagram (managed via Business Suite).
