Frequently asked

Where is the Reel link in the app?
Under any Reel, tap the paper plane share icon and choose Copy Link. That copies the public URL you paste into Beam to start the download.
Can I save a Reel with the sound?
Yes. Beam keeps the audio in the MP4, so the trending track or voiceover stays with the video exactly as it played in the app.
Is there a limit on how many Reels I can save?
The free plan allows up to 10 downloads a day at up to 1080p. Beam Pro makes it unlimited and adds higher quality options.
