Facebook Video Gets Upgrade: Embeddable Videos & 720P

by David Heyerman on December 8, 2008

  • Facebook video has flown somewhat under the radar since its launch last year.  Even though it’s a small part of the site, it still pulls in some 100,000 new videos everyday, with a total of over 45 million.
  • Facebook just announced some upgrades to their video service that’s sure to up those numbers in the upcoming year.
  • The first addition is the ability to embed videos on other websites.  The great thing is Facebook allows you to control your privacy settings, no matter where they’re being shared.  Users can choose to share videos with their friends or selected friends (must be logged in to view) or an everyone setting.
  • Another piece of mediocre good news is they’ll be supporting higher resolution video with capabilities as high as 720p.
