That’s why the website is constantly innovating. Here are several cool, new features Facebook is offering in 2016:

1. Comment with Videos

To add your own video as a comment, simply click on the gray camera icon on the right side of the comment box. This will bring you to your computer files, where you can select a picture or video file that you want to insert as a comment. This method also works on your Android smartphone via the Facebook app.

2. Share a Live Video

To keep your friends up to date on your life’s biggest events, Facebook now lets users host a live video. This is currently available solely through the Facebook app. All you have to do is press the regular “post” button on your smartphone, and choose the live video option. You can add a description, and even block certain people from viewing your stream. It’s the perfect tool for any momentous occasion.
