We will soon be rolling out a few updates for the FB Plus Ads-Free player. These are mostly behind-the-scenes changes to improving loading time and playback stability.
15% improved loading time
Reduced buffering and re-buffering time (improved adaptive bitrate)
New playback speed control (0.5x - 2x speed)
Designed for modern browsers, removing support for legacy browsers, please see the updated Video System Requirements
Test It Out Early
You can test the updated player right now to see if it works for your devices. To get started, go to your account settings and select Ads Free Beta under the Video Player Preference section. Let us know how it works for you!
Please note there are a few casting edge cases that are our Ads-Free player partner is actively working on:
For Chromecast, if you cast, disconnect, then re-cast again, an error screen will appear.
For AirPlay, the AirPlay icon disappears when casting. Although it is not visible, it is still there and can be clicked or tapped to stop casting.
