Facebook announced upgrades to video quality for users. The company is rolling out new improvements starting now. These changes aim to make videos look better across Facebook apps. People will see clearer pictures and smoother playback.

The improvements focus on two main areas. Facebook is using smarter encoding technology. This technology makes video files smaller without losing quality. Smaller files load faster and use less data. This is especially helpful for people on slower internet connections or limited mobile data plans. Videos will start playing quicker and buffer less often.
Facebook also improved how it delivers video. The system now better adjusts the video quality based on the viewer’s internet speed and device. This means people get the best possible picture their connection can handle. If the internet slows down, the video quality adjusts smoothly to avoid stopping. When the connection improves, the video quality gets better again quickly.
Creators uploading videos will benefit too. Their content will look sharper for viewers. High-resolution videos will maintain more detail. This happens automatically. Creators don’t need to change how they upload. The system handles the optimization. This helps creators reach more people with high-quality content.
The upgrades work across many types of videos. This includes regular posts, Stories, Reels, and longer videos. The goal is a consistently better viewing experience everywhere on Facebook. Facebook says it tested these changes thoroughly. Users reported videos looked better and played more reliably.

The new video quality features are available globally. They are rolling out to the Facebook app on iOS and Android first. Improvements for the web version will come later. Users should see the changes gradually. No action is needed from users to get the better video quality. Facebook continues to invest in making video a core part of its platform.
