How to use videos to make Facebook Fanpage cover photos

In order to create innovation for Facebook Fanpage, Facebook has provided new features that are using videos to make Facebook Fanpage cover photos. Users can use the videos available on their Fanpage, or download videos on computers to set as cover images for Fanpage. And the video will have a time limit of 1 minute and a size of about 820 x 312 pixels. So in addition to choosing to use normal photos for Fanpage cover photos, now you can put videos to make Facebook Fanpage cover photos.

Video size made cover Facebook

The size of the video used as a Facebook cover image is similar to the size of the Facebook cover image. Facebook requires this video size to be at least 820x312 pixels, and the recommended size is 820x462 pixels . With this size, you can choose to record videos from your phone in landscape or landscape mode that will be more suitable and simpler than resizing the video yourself. Videos used for covers can be 20 to 90 seconds long and can be repeated in any way you want.

The video will automatically be turned on when someone enters fanpage and attracts their attention. In the lower right corner of the video is the option to turn on and off video audio, just like the other video we still see on Facebook. Video cover is muted by default, so if users want to hear the sound, they will have to lift themselves. Other requests for videos used for covers are similar to images.
