Facebook unveils a brand way to comment on your friends’ posts
Social network rolls out pioneering feedback system which lets users respond to their pals by uploading short videos
Facebook has introduced a new commenting system which allows users to leave short videos beneath posts.
Social media mavens are already able to use emojis and short gifs in place of boring old words, but now they'll be able to go the whole hog and upload mini films.
The new system was designed at a Facebook "hackathon" held earlier this year, which is an event where the firm's brightest talents work to design brand new features.
How to post a video comment
The feature was announced by Facebook employee Bob Baldwin, who issued the following explanation:
"Videos in comments are now available worldwide.
"You can upload them as replies to posts by people and pages, as well as within groups and events.
One very excited person wrote: "Hype! Congrats to everyone who finished this! Awesome team!"
Another exclaimed: "SO GOOD!!!"
Facebook has gone gaga for video this year. It introduced a new system called Facebook Live, which allows individual users as well as famous folk to broadcast live footage of themselves to a global audience.
Mark Zuckerberg was reportedly "super pumped" about the feature and used it to shoot a historic live link-up with British astronaut Tim Peake and his colleagues aboard the International Space Station.
