Facebook Profile Cover Video. You Can Now Rock It

Facebook Profile Cover Video! Yep, You Can Now Rock It.

Like most of you, I have always wanted to use a video on my Facebook profile cover. Unfortunately, this option has only been available to Facebook pages.

Note that Facebook added the possibility to add 360-degree photos straight from the Facebook app with no specialized cameras or tools.

Today while playing with my profile, I discovered that I could add a video to my Facebook profile cover.

I still can’t believe it, but it is so real.

Newest Updates! Facebook Profile Cover Videos are here to stay! How are you planning to rock them? #smm #socialmediamarketing #Facebookmarketing #Facebookprofilecovervideo #videomarketing Click To Tweet

How To Install The New Facebook Profile Cover Video

First, click on the camera icon on your Facebook profile cover video icon.

Select Artwork from the drop-down menu.

Voila! You´ll now see 5 different Facebook profile cover videos and 19 backgrounds arts to choose.

This is one step towards making our Facebook profiles sparkle. I am sure you have been waiting for that too.
Oh before I forget, these Facebook profile cover videos are generic.

I know this comes as a disappointment to some of you ( me included), but I hope it´s a giant step towards introducing more options like:

The possibility to upload our own branded videos.
Maybe even live stream and connect to your profile cover!

Dream dream! I guess it´s not too bad to dream and hope for the best.

Sounds ridiculous? I don’t think so! I think we might move towards that point.

How Can You Rock Facebook Profile Cover Video?

It makes your profile stand out for now.

Gives it a cool effect.

I hope in the future that…

Individuals working for brands can use it to highlight their services.
Or as an educational platform to warm up cold leads.
Show off their branding and enhance their Facebook marketing strategy.
It serves as an excellent means for freelances to attract attention to their products or services.

Over to you, what are your suggestions or feelings about it?

Would you rock these new Facebook Profile Cover Video on your profile? Or are you waiting (hoping) for the possibility to upload your branded videos?

I think this new feature is a great way to catch a person’s attention and eventually help them decide if they’re going to follow your page or not. It’s definitely fun and something that’s worth trying!

Those do look very beautiful and it’s so cool that they are adding video to the Facebook page. It does make it pop. But I am with you and hope they allow us to add our own video to it at some point.

That’s pretty cool! Just another way to show something on your page. Video is the new thing for sure.

I have seen this, but I’ve always wondered HOW to do it. I can’t wait to create my own. I had no idea it was so easy to do!! 🙂

Facebook video profiles are nice. Problem is, I am not into making videos. boo to me. If ever, I think I will need to hired somebody to do this for me.

I just spotted it today when I changed the cover on my blogs facebook page. What an awesome opportunity. I think I’ll create an image shot for my work (makeup artist) and put it up there it will help the business for sure.
