Facebook Feed
Feed is the constantly updating list of status updates, photos, videos and more in the middle of the Facebook home page. Your Feed includes updates and posts from friends, Pages, Groups and advertisers.
Use the video format in Feed to show off your product, service or brand in new ways. To capture attention quickly, use movement and sound to show the unique features of a product or tell your brand story.
Note: If you select Awareness as your video ad objective or select Maximize reach of ads, Maximize 2-second continuous video views, Maximize number of impressions, or Maximize engagement with a post as your performance goal, the ad footer on your video ad, including the headline, description, and call-to-action button won’t be displayed on Facebook Feed on mobile devices.
