    That Mark Zuckerberg and his trusty team of designers have many tricks up their sleeves – and sometimes they’re so sneaky they roll out their new features without letting us in on the party.

    Users who were paying close attention yesterday may have noticed a new button appearing on the site, one that allows for videos you watch to be popped out from the newsfeed so that you can keep scrolling away to your heart’s content. The Next Web reports:

    Once pressed, the video continues playing and floats out of the way on the lower left of the screen. It can be dragged anywhere and directly liked or shared at any point.

    Unfortunately the video doesn’t stick around if you head to a different page. The feature is pretty useful if you don’t want to just sit watching a longer video or just want to keep aimlessly browsing your feed.

    Of course we want to aimlessly scroll through the feed, I assumed that’s what about 95% of users did for the duration of their visit?

    It’s not all selfless from Facebook’s side, many in the know speculating that the eventual aim is to place ads on videos and monetise them in the same way that YouTube has.

    For now let’s just be thankful we can enjoy a ‘Thug Life’ video and watch our friends humblebrag all at the same time – what a world we live in.
