Then the dynamics of content shifted, and images took over. However, in the recent past, the trend has been shifting again \u2014 this time, from images to videos.<br \/>\nFacebook also has been actively trying new things to accommodate more and more videos. The latest attempt seems to be in the form of \u2018Facebook Instant Videos\u2019.<br \/>\nThese \u2018Instant Videos\u2019 are going to be data-friendly, which means you will be able to watch these videos without consuming any data from your mobile plan?<br \/>\nHow is that possible?<br \/>\nWell, when you are using Facebook with a WiFi connection, Facebook will download and cache some of these videos in the background. Once you are on a cellular network, these pre-loaded \u2018Instant Videos\u2019 will become available to you that you would be able to watch without consuming your data plan.<br \/>\nFacebook \u2018Instant Videos\u2019 will be easily recognizable with a distinct look \u2014 a lightning bolt icon that is very similar to the AMP and Facebook\u2019s Instant Articles.<br \/>\nHere is how a Facebook Instant Video would appear on the screen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Here-is-how-a-Facebook-Instant-Video-would-appear-on-the-screen.-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7242\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Here-is-how-a-Facebook-Instant-Video-would-appear-on-the-screen.-.png\" alt=\"Here is how a &lt;br&gt;Facebook Instant Video would appear on the screen.\" width=\"605\" height=\"917\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the moment, it is not clear if videos ads will be also cached and made available to Facebook users when they are using a cellular network. It does sound tempting to take the next step for <a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/5-ab-testing-tips-facebook-ads-marketing\/\">Facebook advertisers<\/a>, so it is still on the cards.<br \/>\nHowever, for now, content creators and organic marketers would love this new feature!<br \/>\nWith Facebook Instant Videos, content creators are expected to dramatically increase views and engagement.<br \/>\nAt the moment, we don\u2019t have a clear release date for when the feature will be made available across the globe.
