From the initial day, Facebook is trying to make your profile more professional so that everyone can use it for different purposes like job etc. And, thousands of people use Facebook profile to showcase their work or profession to obtain more customers for their business.
Previously, Facebook used a different layout to showcase everything including your personal profile. After that, they developed a better user interface that brought different profile layout. Facebook accepts any size of image as a profile picture. However, if you have too small image, it cannot be set as a display picture on Facebook.
Anyway, apart from that, Facebook has almost all the options, what a regular person needs to showcase their work and identity to the world or to someone. Nevertheless, now Facebook is rolling out two new features for users.
First, set Facebook profile video (not picture)
Second, set temporary profile picture
Set Facebook Profile Video
Only an image is not enough to show the personality – this is what Facebook thinks about. That is the reason, why they are changing the way people have checked your profile. Now, users can set Facebook profile video instead of image. Facebook allows users to set a small 7 seconds video clip as the profile video. You can either capture from your camera or you can use pre-loaded video.
Availability: As of now, Facebook has not started giving the access of this feature to all the people. Nowadays, they are testing it in the UK and California. According to Facebook, they will release this feature to all the people around the globe. In another note, they have said that it will be a mobile-friendly feature. Therefore, there is a doubt whether it will be available on desktop or not.
To set Facebook profile video, open Facebook on your iOS device. Tap on the profile picture change button and select Upload Video or Photo.
Then, you can record your video. If you want, you can also choose a pre-recorded video.

Set Temporary Facebook Profile Picture
