REQUIREMENTS
*.The 7 second video as a Facebook profile picture is only available for mobile devices.
Furthermore, it’s only available for those of you with iOS as an operating system.
Apple is known as having apps and features first, but it’s unlikely they will remain the only platform with this extra ability.
Those with an Android OS will have to wait a bit longer, and those with Windows or any other mobile OS will need to keep fingers crossed.
HOW TO USE A VIDEO AS A FACEBOOK PROFILE PICTURE
1.Launch the usual Facebook app.
2.Navigate to your home profile page where you should see the profile picture in the middle of the screen.
3.Tap your finger over the profile picture that you have on your profile.
4. A new list of options will pop up on the display.
One of those options will say ‘Upload a Video or Photo’, and the other option will say ‘Take a New Profile Video’.
5.Those of you with a video already on the device can upload it and use it.
Those who want to take a video on the spot and use it can choose the ‘take a new profile video’.
6.It’s as easy as that.
You cannot crop any existing video that’s longer than seven seconds using the Facebook features.
If you have a video that’s really cool and you want to use it, you’ll need to edit the video using different software so that it is no longer than seven seconds and upload it to Facebook.
