Facebook Tests Mini Videos in Search Results
(Facebook Tests Mini Videos in Search Results)
Facebook is trying out short videos directly within its search results. This test shows small video clips alongside the usual text and image links people see after searching. These videos start playing automatically without sound as users scroll through their search findings.
The videos appear in the search listings themselves. They are not full-screen experiences. People can tap on a video to watch it with sound and see more details. Facebook confirmed this is a limited test. Only some users globally will see these video results right now.
The company aims to make search results more useful and interesting. Showing videos might help people find information faster. It could also highlight content creators and businesses more effectively. Businesses using Facebook might see new ways for potential customers to discover their videos.
Facebook is exploring how different content formats perform in search. The test focuses on how users interact with these short video previews. User feedback and engagement data will guide future decisions. Facebook wants to understand if people find video results helpful during their searches. This move follows broader trends where short-form video is increasingly popular across platforms.
