Curiously some Reels videos don't have this white bar. Nor do "Story" (i.e. the "we stole this from Snapchat" ephemeral content) videos.

Also it's possible to add videos as a "post" (the OG data model), and they're not reels, and these don't seem to have scrolling capability.

Gotta love the "Let's just throw a bunch of crap onto this thing" architectural design. I remember when Reels (the part that is full of reposted TikTok videos and girls in skimpy clothes advertising their OnlyFans) was called IGTV...

I'm pretty sure this is length based, other products don't let you scrub on shorts that are too short
