Facebook videos are all just rollers now

Facebook again renames the “Video” section in its application. This time, the tab previously known as ““Which was once called”“Rollers” will become. The change comes as the company says that all the video on the social network will now be included under the umbrella of “Reels” regardless of the duration of the clip or how it was filmed.

According to Change will make things more simple for users and creators who share videos on the statute. Previously, users had to decide whether they wanted a specific video clip to be a “ball”, or shorter clips that are not aware of all over the Facebook, or “video”, which also included direct and long content, as well as video posts for friends only. Now, this distinction will not matter anymore.

Although Reels was once explicitly intended for short videos for one minute or less, Meta has gradually expanded coordination. On Instagram, it can now be the rollers long. On Facebook, there will be no higher limit on the time when it can be a “ball”. “You will be able to create and share rollers of any length or direction, whether it is a fast, 30 seconds, or an in -depth horizontal ring for 20 minutes,” Meta .

This change may end until it is somewhat confusing as most people are used on “rollers” as they are shorter and header instead of “long rings”. It is also especially different from how the video works on Instagram, where rollers still have time restrictions. It can also raise questions from the viewpoint of privacy because the rollers are usually public posts, while many Facebook users download the video who only wants to share them with their current friends (Meta says it will push users to reconsider their privacy settings once the change is made to ensure only their clips to the intended audience.)

Meta notes that the changes will be released slowly “in the coming months”, so people will have some time to adapt to the new coordination.
