I. Facebook home page video cover and its video requirements

1. About the video cover of the Facebook home page

Your Facebook cover video is visible to anyone who visits your page. It’s a great opportunity to attract visitors and gain new fans. Facebook recently changed the specs for cover videos, so it’s helpful to have a look at the latest video specs.

2. Requirements for Facebook home page cover video

① Facebook does not limit the file size of cover videos, but it is recommended to choose a smaller video size to ensure easy viewing for users with slower connections. The total size of your videos on the Facebook site should be less than 1.75GB.

② According to the Facebook Help Center, your cover video should be at least 820 x 312 pixels. For best results, choose a video that measures 820 x 462 pixels (although videos at this size will be slightly cropped when viewed on a computer).

③ Video duration: Cover videos can range from 20 to 90 seconds. Different lengths can be utilized based on specific requirements, such as looping or slowing down to extend the playing time, or trimming or speeding up to shorten it.

④ Facebook’s recommended cover video format is MP4 or MOV, while the maximum resolution is limited to 1080P.
