Much like the rest of the social media world, Facebook is continually changing. One aspect they have been working on and improving is their approach to videos.

Thankfully, the days of scrolling through your news feed and having a video instantly play are long gone. Facebook has stepped up their game for desktop in regards to a user’s video options. We are now able to detach a video from your newsfeed and move it off to the side of your browser window. We are able to do so by an icon located in the lower right hand corner of the video.

This functionality is especially helpful for those who want to multitask; view endless memes and status updates while catching up on a news story or event from the day.

As of right now it is only desktop compatible and once you navigate away from the news feed, the video will end. However, you are still able to Like and share the video, in addition to play/pause and close the floating window.
