Facebook testing floating videos in your News Feed
Facebook is testing a new feature that enhances your video viewing experience. The social network’s latest floating video feature will allow users to scroll through their News Feed while letting them watch the video. The floating video feature lets users take out a video from their News Feed and put it anywhere in their browser and watch it simultaneously while continue scrolling content on the platform. You can activate the feature by clicking on a new button at the bottom-right of video embeds. When you click the icon, the video becomes movable. However, you cannot pull it out of the browser window. The floating video has play/pause button, a close button, and an option to Like or share the video. It must be noted that that floating videos will disappear if you head to another page. Unfortunately, users cannot resize the floating video window which has a bit of a downside as the original size of the window is small.
Currently, the company is testing the floating video feature for some users on desktop and not on any mobile apps. Facebook has been striving hard to change its approach towards video content. The social network introduced a new way to embed Facebook videos on websites. The company wants its user to be engaged in video related content which is essentially a new way to tap advertisers.

It's really free ? Still Confused Let It Be Clear:
For Microsoft aficionados, the poor decision of words that the organization is utilizing for this declaration is the greatest problem, particularly on the grounds that Gabriel Aul could have said it obviously that introducing Windows 10 review assembles and utilizing a Microsoft record would present to you a completely free and activated copy.

Instagram has become the defining social network of our generation when it comes to image sharing. The cultural relevance and popularity of the application was such that the social networking giant, Facebook, invested USD 1billion to acquire the service. Through all of this, the company has stuck to the somewhat antiquated low resolution images that it launched with. This is about to change.
Looking through the source URLs on Instagram pages indicates that the company is about to increase the resolution dramatically. Where uploads were stuck to an archaic 640px, you’ll now be looking at 1080px wide images. This means that your embeds are going to look a lot crisper and will pack a lot more detail. We’re still not sure if Instagram is planning to fix the issue with compression artifacts on Android devices but this alone is a step in the right direction. While Full HD Android devices have been around for a while, the emergence of an Apple iPhone packing a high resolution display seems to be the impetus here to increase the resolution. We expect Instagram to switch over to high resolution embeds soon enough as it appears that all uploads are now in the higher resolution and said images can be accessed via direct URLs.
