This could be fun.

Would you give it a go?

Another day, another Facebook update.

The social media giant has just launched the birthday video camera which allows you to send 15-second video messages to your friends on their birthdays.

According to The Verge, the feature is only available via the iOS app at the moment and it’s very simple to operate.

The birthday camera appears on the profile of anyone celebrating their day of birth and all you do is tap the icon to record your message.

Last year, Ted Zagat, head of ad product at Facebook, predicted that a year or two down the line “Facebook will be mostly video”.

An interesting thought!
