How to Make a Video That Can Be Uploaded on Facebook
Upload home videos to your Facebook profile page for your friends and family to see. Facebook allows you to upload three different types of video: video taken on a video camera and uploaded to your computer; mobile video from your cell phone; and video recorded on a computer's webcam. Once your video is uploaded, tag everyone with a Facebook account featured in the video and then share the file with all your other Facebook friends.
