You can now use a video cover for your Facebook Page.

A video is a great way to grab the attention of visitors to your Facebook Business Page. Video is growing online and more people are watching video. Using a video for the Facebook cover image is just as easy as uploading a photo. Now, there are a couple of specs that need to be followed to allow the best view of the video cover.

First the video needs to be 820px by 462px. These dimensions will allow a proper fit on a mobile device but will crop the image on the top and bottom when viewed on the desktop.

Second, the video can only be with 20 – 90 seconds.

The video can be set to loop so that it can continue to play or by allowing it to stop, it will end with the thumbnail image. I would recommend having a custom thumbnail uploaded with your video. This way if someone does not have their device set to auto-play video, then the main thumbnail image will be seen.

Now that you’ve seen that you can use a video for the Facebook Cover, I would encourage you to put up a video now. You can contact me if you would like to have a video created for you.
