Facebook adds profile video feature

Your Facebook profile picture will soon be animated.

Facebook said the new feature allows users to upload a short video loop as their picture.

“We’re seeing people create and view more videos than ever before,” wrote Facebook Product Manager Aigerim Shorman in a blog post on Sept. 30. “Today we’re starting to test the next step in an obvious evolution of profiles: profile videos.”

Facebook is testing the videos with a select group of iPhone users in California and the United Kingdom. It said more users would be able to enjoy the profile feature soon.
