First autoplay sound, now vertical video — the world's largest social network is recasting how video should be consumed on its own platforms.  

Facebook will now more completely display a vertically-formatted video in the news feeds of iOS and Android users, Marketing Land reported. Instead of cropping them into squares (1:1), vertical videos will appear in a 2:3 ratio. The update applies to uploaded videos, ads and live broadcasts.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
