Impossible to remove meta glasses tag/product link from my Instagram stories!!

Has anyone found a way of remove the “meta raybans” tag that appears top left if you post a video made with the glasses?!

I’ve tried everything:

  1. Screen recording the original video and posting the screen recording. Tag still there.
  2. Editing in CapCut. Tag still there.
  3. Removing metadata from the video. Tag still there.
  4. With a second phone - actually filming the original video on the 1st phone, then posting the 2nd phone film of the original 1st phone video. Tag still there!! I have no idea how Instagram knows?!

😵‍💫

  1. Unpairing the glasses and setting up a burner meta account (separate from my Instagram linked meta acct) to upload videos to phone. Tag still there.
  2. I had some success adjusting the speed of the film in cap cut, but the speed adjustment has to be fairly significant or … you guessed it …. Tag still there.

Meta REALLY want meta glasses content tagged. What a sh\*tty way to treat your customers - as a free billboard for your product.

I do not want to be doing product placement for meta ray bans, every time I post to my stories, especially with the growing stigma associated with these glasses. I’m at the point where if I can’t find a workaround I will try and return these.

Any suggestions most welcome.
