A new day on Facebook, a new birthday notification , a new bland and generic greeting in text message format with best wishes to that person. History repeats itself almost daily, and congratulations cease to be original, heartfelt and attractive. How to give them a funny and entertaining twist? Very easy: using the new star content format on the social network, the video Or at least that is the conclusion they have reached in Facebook
And the fact is that the world's most popular social network now has a new way to congratulate a birthday through its application to iPhone These are video messages, where you not only show your face, but also use your voice and some graphic resources that can help make someone else's birth anniversary more special A simple tool but one that is postulated as the new star content for this type of event through the walls of Facebook
At this time, only iPhone users can access this option. To do this, all you have to do is enter the next birthdays section or access the screen for writing a congratulations when you receive a notification indicating any of these anniversaries our friends.A new blue tab offers the possibility of recording a short, fifteen-second video,through the mobile's front camera, allowing the use of voice, gestures or even sing in front of the mobile for that person.
By clicking on the new blue tab, the terminal's camera is activated to record only 15 seconds However, the video itself it is not everything for these congratulations. Once the message has been recorded, the user can apply different filters or fun frames Just slide your finger from left to right to move between them and see how they remain on top of the image, framing the user's face and adding congratulatory messages to make the video more complete and fun.
The final point of the process is publish said video on the wall of the friend of the celebrationOne point to note is that, like all videos on Facebook, it will autoplay with no soundon that wall, so using the frames and layouts that this feature presents is a plus. Or even create your own posters that help develop the expressiveness of the video when no sound is played. Of course, all you have to do is make a press or click on the content to play it full screen and with sound
In short, a new tool based on the content that is flooding Facebook: the videos A fun way to remember friends and family on special dates and, incidentally, avoid the classic and hackneyed text congratulations that not even emoticons can brighten up anymore However, it seems that for now we will have to wait a little longer to enjoy this function in Spain, without Facebook has yet revealed a specific date for its arrival, nor its availability for the Android platform.
