On April 2021, Facebook removed the option to use videos as a cover on business pages.

As a result, Facebook video covers do no longer play and have been replaced with a thumbnail image of your previously uploaded/selected video. Currently you can use only images as a cover or create a slideshow by using images only.

In order to add or change your page's cover image:

  • Go to your Facebook page;

  • Click on Edit in the bottom right of your cover photo;

  • Select 1 of these 3 options:

    • Choose From Photos” - you can choose any image previously saved on your Facebook page

    • Create slideshow” - you can upload new or choose images previously saved on your Facebook page.

    • Upload Photo” - you can upload a new image for your cover.

Note: For a Facebook cover, you need to download the image in Widescreen ratio from your Promo.com account. And for your text to look the best on your cover, make sure to place it in the center of the image. If the text is placed directly in the center of the footage, it will be perfectly visible on your cover page.

  • If you want to create a slideshow, you can either upload new photos or choose images previously saved on your Facebook page, or you can also let the Facebook choose images for your slideshow:

Note: You can add up to 5 images to Facebook Slideshow Cover.

  • When you choose the image or created a slideshow, you can click on “Save Changes” button and your Facebook Photo/Slideshow Cover will appear on Facebook page.

Done :) Your Facebook cover should be successfully uploaded on your Business Page.
