How To View Or Edit Your Friends Day Video On Facebook

Updated on

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg encouraged users last month to share their friendship stories on Friends Day, Feb. 4 (which is also Facebook’s birthday), and now the social network is offering up something to help users celebrate. Because Feb. 4 has dawned in part of the world, some users are already seeing the videos the social network put together about them and their friends.

Friends Day videos from Facebook

Depending on what part of the world you’re in, you might see this message: “We’re celebrating friendship on Facebook’s 12th birthday, so we made you this video about you and your friends.”

Or this one: “We’re celebrating friendship on Facebook’s 12th birthday. But we’re not quite ready – please check back later!”

Once midnight has passed all around the world, hundreds of millions of people on Facebook will likely be able to make their friendship videos. When Zuckerberg extended the original invitation for users to celebrate Friends Day, he encouraged them to also share stories about how one moment involving one or more of their friends changed their lives forever. More than 17,000 comments were posted on Zuckerberg’s original Friends Day post, so this is sure to be a popular feature.

Facebook has already created the video for you, but you can edit it or share it on your timeline as is.

Below is how you can create your own video.

  • It’s really simple just visit this url (https://www.facebook.com/friendsday) and that’s it.
  • You can click Share to post your video immediately on your timeline or you can even edit it your own way.
  • The friends day video will look something like this – LINK. (Profile link in case the first link is not accessible)

Press Release

Today, February 4, marks Facebook’s 12th birthday. Each year we recognize this day as Friends Day and invite the world to celebrate and reflect on the importance of connecting.

When people connect, powerful things happen and lives are changed. We see this on Facebook every day, whether it’s an exchange with an old friend that brings a smile to your face or a new connection that changes your life path, or even the world.

To celebrate, we are releasing an updated degrees of separation statistic, highlighting inspiring stories about the power of friendship, and launching new products to further encourage our community to rally around their friends today.

Facebook Community Continues to Grow Closer
We know that people are more connected today than ever before. Over the past five years, the global Facebook community has more than doubled in size. Today we’re announcing that during that same time period, the degrees of separation between a typical pair of Facebook users has continued to decrease to 3.57 degrees, down from 3.74 degrees in 2011. This is a significant reflection of how closely connected the world has become.

Introducing Friends Day Videos

To help our community celebrate the importance of friendship, we’re delivering a personalized Friends Day video to millions of people around the world. These videos stitch together special moments with your friends in a short film that can be edited and shared. People can view their video at the top of News Feed, or by clicking “Watch Yours” below a friend’s Friends Day video.

 

It’s my turn now. Happy Facebook #friendsday to all of my friends out there. You all are awesome!

Friends Day is also an occasion to celebrate extraordinary stories about the power of friendship.

There are now 22,000 people in GirlCrew Facebook groups in more than 40 cities worldwide. Earlier this week, we hosted an intimate Friends Day event where 18 members of the Facebook community with incredible stories, including GirlCrew, were invited to come to our Menlo Park headquarters.
