\nBefore the whole TikTok tiff, Facebook focused on longer-form videos from its creators. Then, enter ByteDance\u2019s video-sharing platform. It swooped in and poached users from Instagram (owned by Facebook owner Meta) and led to a significant drop in ad revenue. Since then, Mark Zuckerberg has been looking for ways to make Instagram the one-stop shop for short videos.
\nThis is a tough job because it\u2019s not only going against TikTok, but it\u2019s also fighting YouTube Shorts and Snapchat\u2019s Spotlight.
\nFacebook brought a new Video tab
\nFacebook revamped its hub for videos. It officially retired its Facebook Watch tab after about six years of service. When you access the tab, you\u2019ll find a line of different buttons on the top to curate the videos on your screen. There\u2019s one for live videos, Reels, Music videos, and creators you follow. When you open the tab, you\u2019ll automatically be in the For You section.
\nIn the \u2018For You\u2019 section, you\u2019ll navigate a feed of videos that the algorithm thinks you like. This will be based on your Facebook activity. While there\u2019s a Reels section, you\u2019ll still see Reels mixed into your \u2018For You\u2019 feed. That should come as no surprise, however. You\u2019ll still be able to interact with these videos just like other Facebook posts. You can \u201cLike\u201d, comment, react, and share them.
\nThere\u2019s also a search button on the top right of the screen. With it, you\u2019re able to search for keywords and hashtags. When you summon the search bar, you\u2019ll see recommended hashtags that you can discover as well.
\nThis is a good addition for people who want a better video-watching experience while using Facebook.
