Facebook Expands Video Playback Options for Users
(Facebook Expands Its Video Playback Options)
Facebook announced new features today giving people more control over how they watch videos in their feed. This update focuses on making video viewing simpler and more flexible for everyone. Users often encounter videos automatically playing as they scroll. Now, Facebook offers clear ways to manage this experience directly on the video player.
The key change is a prominent sound toggle button placed directly on each video. People can easily tap this button to turn sound on or off instantly. This eliminates the previous need to open the video fully just to control audio. It provides immediate choice over whether to watch with sound or silently.
Additionally, the update introduces a dedicated pause button. This button appears clearly on the video itself. Users can pause playback without accidentally tapping the video and opening the full-screen view. It offers a straightforward way to stop a video momentarily while staying in the feed.
Facebook also improved video loading and playback performance. Videos should start playing faster and more reliably. This reduces frustrating delays or interruptions when users want to watch. The changes aim to make the overall video experience smoother and less disruptive during everyday browsing.

The simpler interface puts basic playback controls right at users’ fingertips.
