Greetings!
I just shared this amazing compilation of the latest Facebook Live & Video Streaming Stats & Facts on my Facebook Page, including:
- Facebook users gaze 5x longer at video content than static content
- 90% of Facebook viewers think video quality is the most important aspect of Facebook Live videos.
- 85% of Facebook videos are viewed without sound. (All the more reason to design your videos for sound-off. Use captions & lower thirds. Check out the fabulous app Animoto.com & enter code ‘marchgladness’ for 20% off!)
- Mobile and tablet shoppers are 300% more likely to view a video than laptop/desktop users. (Woa!)
