Through a blog post, the social media network boasted about having over 1 billion videos viewed a day with more than 65 per cent on mobiles. It's likely the autoplay feature that the Facebook app now has as standard has helped, as well as the recent Ice Bucket Challenge videos, but it still sounds like a pretty large number.
The next Facebook update will bring new "views" figures that will be displayed on public videos from people and Pages, which should help you find new and popular videos within the app.
Additionally, Facebook announced another video feature that was in testing which will play related content following the video you are watching.
Video publishers can now also add a call to action like a link to a website once the video ends - another YouTube-like feature that should encourage more professionally published videos.
The update with the new video views feature is expected to land this week.
