^^^ I'm thinking the first one is the best...but not sure...can't see it well.
Why does facebook put their writing on top of the video reels??

Or am I missing something that will let me see the video?
Or is it because I'm not a Facebook member?

she may not be much of a dancer, but I doubt anyone has ever held that against her.

I'm not sure. Viewing on a larger/higher res computer screen is better than viewing on a phone where more of the video is obscured by text.

I'm using a Dell 15.5 screen with an Intel Core i3 chip.
Every Facebook Reel Video has large block white lettering all over it. The lettering is the description of the video and other facts.

If it comes thru without that on your computer....the problem is with mine.
I'm not a Facebook member might be the problem.

I tried to take a screenshot of it....wouldn't work

All others...Instagram, Youtube, X, all show perfectly.

I dug out my old cheap Chromebook laptop and tried playing the Facebook Reels.
They appear perfect with small letters at the bottom with the description. So, I can tell my Dell has a problem. Not sure how to fix it...but I'll look more into it tomorrow.

At least I know now that it's a problem on my end.

Try a different browser on the Dell (Chrome maybe since that's what the Chromebook is likely using)? Do you have Windows on the Dell set to use larger text for old eyes?

I just now tried Firefox on the Dell and it works fine. I had been using Chrome when it gave me the large graphic overlay on Facebook reels. It's funny because it wouldn't do it on my old Chromebook.

Who knows....but it has to be a problem with the Dell using Chrome.

^^^ No idea...maybe makes it easier? The comment section was not kind to her.
