Facebook's Video API lets brands push more and more video into your News Feed<article>

Coming soon to a News Feed near you: More videos from brands and content creators, instead of your friends.
Facebook rolled out an update to its Video API on Wednesday, and went over the details during a session at the company’s
F8 Developer Conference. The goal of these new features is to help creators better reach their audiences—which could be you. </p><p>
The bulk of these API updates have to do with control over viewership. Those who work with Facebook’s Video API can now restrict the audience of the video by age, gender, and location—for example, limited videos to people living on the East Coast to eliminate TV spoilers, or pushing a video out to users who are at least 18 years old. Also new is the ability to publish a video directly to a Page without distributing it in News Feed, and the ability to batch-upload a bunch of videos at once without having them all get pushed to News Feed at once—you can schedule videos, set a video to be featured on a Page, and program a video playlist. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2902232/facebooks-video-api-lets-brands-push-more-and-more-video-into-your-news-feed.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
