How to Make Sure Your Facebook Account is Properly Secured.
As with the last video compilation, Facebook Year in Review, Facebook’s Friends Day Video has a very similar process. The main difference this time, however, is that the video is more focused on the friends you have made along your entire Facebook Journey, not just the year that was.
As is tradition, Facebook likes to put all this happy, funny, joyous stuff into a short video, which you can edit, then share with everyone in your network. The video also allows you to adjust quite a few things such as the photos and friends you wish to appear in the video. This time around they have also added the option to upload new pictures that you might not have stored on Facebook, from places like your computers hard drive or phones storage. With all the details out of the way, let's show you how to get started on creating your masterpiece.
How to Create Your 2017 Facebook Friends' Day Video (#friendsday)
This time around Facebook is directly notifying users that they can now create their own Friends’ day video. As soon as you log into your account it should be the first thing at the top of your page. Oddly though not all Facebook users have been able to get access to the video. If you are one of the people who are having trouble accessing the video, you can get access from the link below.
