30/11/2019

All videos on Facebook that are 30 seconds or shorter will loop continuously. This includes videos shared organically as well as video ads. Looping means that your video will replay once it reaches the end. Videos will loop continuously for up to approximately 90 seconds on Facebook.

Example 1: Let's say you have a 10-second video. Your 10-second video will loop 9 times for a total of 90 seconds.

10 seconds x 9 loops = 90 seconds.

Example 2: Now, let's say you have a 16-second video. Your 16-second video will loop 6 times for a total of 96 seconds.

16 seconds x 6 loops = 96 seconds.*
16 seconds x 5 loops = 80 seconds.*

*6 loops wins in this example because 96 seconds is closer to 90 than 80 seconds.
