Facebook Replaces Videos From Flash To Html 5

Facebook today announced that each and every video you see on its website will now plays in HTML5 thus it replaces videos from Flash to Html 5 Completly and with all browsers, an update the company said “best enables us to continue to innovate quickly and at scale, given Facebook’s large size and complex needs.” Adobe itself recently announced that it’s time to leave bury flash, and later in July, Facebook’s security chief called for the Flash creator to announce an end-of-life date for the technology.

“We decided to initially launch the HTML5 player to only a specific set of browsers, and continuously track out to more browsers, versions, and operating systems as we improved it and fixed all the bugs,” Facebook’s Daniel Baulig wrote in a blog post. If you’ve been using anything resembling a modern Computer, you’ve likely already been getting HTML5-based videos for some time now. But some elder browsers didn’t fare well with the newer standard, suffering longer load times and experiencing more bugs. “That’s why we waited until today to ship the HTML 5 to all set of pc’s, Browsers, versions and operating system by default, with the exception of a small set of them.”

Baulig Said that “People appear to be spending more time with video because of it, Videos are an enriching way to connect with the world around you, and we’re happy we could make the Facebook video experience better.Flash-based games aren’t going away, however, with Facebook noting that it will collaborate with Adobe to ensure that the gaming experience will remain “reliable and secure.”
