Facebook has announced the global rollout of its new full-screen video player, a feature that is expected to revolutionize the way Nigerians consume and engage with video content on the platform.
The new player, which is now available to users worldwide, including in Nigeria, offers a more immersive viewing experience, with a vertically oriented design that fills the entire screen. This means that when a user taps on a video, it will dominate the entire screen, providing a more engaging and interactive experience.
The update is part of Facebook’s ongoing efforts to empower creators and provide them with the tools they need to succeed. With over 40 million active users in Nigeria, Facebook provides a massive platform for creators to showcase their talents and connect with their audience.
The new full-screen video player is designed to increase user engagement and attention-grabbing capabilities, making it easier for content creators to reach a wider audience. The update also includes improved recommendations, enhanced controls, and seamless transitions between videos.
For Nigerian content creators, this update presents a significant opportunity to expand their reach and connect with their audience in new and innovative ways. Also with meta confirming monetisation of Nigerian content creators on Facebook, this update will be an added bonus. With the ability to recommend videos based on user interests and showcase longer-form content alongside Reels, creators will have more opportunities to share their stories and connect with their audience.
Facebook’s new full-screen video player is now available globally, and Nigerian content creators are encouraged to take advantage of this exciting new feature to grow their online presence and engage with their audience like never before.
