If you want to broadcast from your computer, you'll need to use an app. This can be a web app that runs in your browser (such as Facebook itself, or BlueJeans) or an app that runs on your Mac or PC (usually known as an encoder).
For a long time, Facebook didn't allow users to upload more than one photo at the same time using the status update field. To upload several photos, you first had to create a photo album. Posting to a photo album has its own challenges, but it's definitely the best option for batch uploading photos to the social network.
Fortunately, Facebook eventually changed its photo uploader to allow you to click and upload multiple photos in the same status update without creating an album. So if you're only posting a few images, this is a fine option. If you have many images to post, it's still a good idea to create an album. You can post multiple images to Facebook from your computer in your favorite browser or from your mobile device using the Facebook app.
Posting Multiple Photos With Status Updates in a Computer Browser
To post multiple photos in a Facebook status field on your Facebook Timeline or News Feed:
Click Photo/Video in the status field either before or after you type a status, but before you click Post.
Navigate through your computer's drive and click on an image to highlight it. To select multiple images, hold down the Shift or Command key on a Mac or the Ctrl key on a PC while you click on multiple images to post. Each image should be highlighted.
Click Open.
- A large Facebook status update box reappears showing thumbnails of the images you selected. If you want to write something about your photos and have that text appear with them in the update, write a message in the status box.
- Click the box with the plus sign in it to add additional photos to this post.
- Hover the mouse cursor over a thumbnail to either delete or edit a photo before posting it.
- Review the other options available in the screen. Among them are options to tag friends, apply stickers, add your feelings/activity, and check in.
When you're ready, click Share.
When you use this method, only the first five images show up in your friends' News Feeds. They'll see a number with a plus sign indicating there are additional photos to view. Clicking it takes them to the other photos. If you plan to upload more than five photos, usually a Facebook album is a better choice.

Click Photo/Video Album at the top of the update box.
Navigate through your computer's drive and click on each image to highlight it. To select multiple images, hold down the Shift or Command key on a Mac or the Ctrl key on a PC while you click on multiple images to post to the album. Each image should be highlighted.
Click Open.
An album preview screen opens with thumbnails of the chosen images and gives you the opportunity to add text to each photo and to include a location for the photos. Click the large plus sign to add additional photos to the album.
In the left pane, give the new album a name and description and view the other available options.

Post A Video For Facebook On My Mac 2018 Update
One of the more annoying things about Facebook has got to be the diminished quality of photos and videos you upload to the service, be it via iOS’s Facebook integration integration or through the official mobile app for the iPhone and iPad, a free download in the App Store.
For whatever reason, Facebook’s mobile app defaults to low-resolution photo and video uploads, likely in an effort to minimize bandwidth usage in this digital age of capped cellular data.
Fortunately, there is an easy yet not immediately obvious way to configure Facebook for iPhone and iPad to record and upload videos and photos in glorious high-definition.
How to enable HD uploads for video through iOS
Step 1: Launch Settings on your device and tap on Facebook in the section with Twitter, Flickr and Vimeo integration.
Step 2: On the next screen, hit the Settings button below the Facebook logo and just above your account name.
Tip: If the Setting option is not present there, you must download the official mobile app, launch it and log in to Facebook within the app.
Step 3: Toggle the Upload HD button in the Video section to the ON position. Both iOS and the mobile app will now default to uploading high-definition video. Again, that toggle won’t be visible if you rely on iOS’s built-in Facebook integration but don’t use the official app.
Sadly, iOS’s Facebook integration doesn’t allow you to enable high-definition photo uploads through the Settings app. For that, you must use Facebook’s official mobile app, as described further below.
How to enable HD uploads for video and photos through mobile app
Step 1: Launch Facebook for iPhone and iPad.
Music Video For Facebook
Step 2: Tap the More button in the bottom right corner of the interface.
Step 3: Scroll all the way down and tap on Settings.
Step 4: A sheet pops up asking if you’d like to access your Account Settings, News Feed Preferences or Activity Log. Tap on Account Settings to continue.
Step 5: Tap on Videos and Photos on the next screen.
Step 6: Flip the Upload HD button in both the Video Settings and Photo Settings sections to the ON position.
That’s it. You’ve now ensured that posting photos/videos through the mobile app happens in high-definition so your snaps and videos will look sharp to others on Facebook.
Tip: If you disable the Upload HD option for video in iOS’s Settings app, its counterpart in the mobile app gets flipped to the OFF position, too, and vice versa.
HD uploads and bandwidth concerns
Needless to say, HD videos produce larger file sizes so you’ll wait longer for the transfer to finish. More importantly, HD upload might be particularly concerning for people who are on a metered cellular plan.
To avoid unwanted charges on your monthly wireless bill, ensure that you’re on Wi-Fi before posting high-resolution video on Facebook.
Also, consider temporarily disabling iOS 9’s new feature called Wi-Fi Assist that automatically switches to your carrier’s data network if your Wi-Fi connection is poor, even if cellular data is disabled in Setting.
Recommended video settings
If you’re planning on exporting your video from editing software such as Final Cut Pro X or iMovie, Facebook recommends the following custom settings for best results:
- H.264 video with AAC audio in MOV or MP4 format
- An aspect ratio no larger than 1280px wide and divisible by 16px
- A frame rate at, or below, 30fps
- Stereo audio with a sample rate of 44,100hz
Videos shared on Facebook must be less than 45 minutes long and smaller than 1.75 gigabytes. The longer your video is, the larger its file size will be and this “may affect the quality of the video,” according to Facebook.
Go here for the complete list of supported video formats on Facebook.
And as mentioned before, iOS’s Facebook integration lacks the option to turn on high-resolution photo uploads so best thing you enable HD uploads for both photos and video directly in the mobile Facebook app.
Posting photos and videos to Facebook through mobile app
To upload a photo or video to Facebook, open the mobile app and tap Photo at the top of your News Feed, or Share Photo at the top of your Timeline.
Select the videos and photos you want to upload and tap Done. Optionally choose who can see your post, tag friends, add a location and write a custom message.
Hit the Post button to publish your media on Facebook.
Your video must be processed on Facebook’s servers before others can see it on the service. When it’s ready to view, you’ll receive a notification.
If a video has been shared as Public, the number of views will be displayed below the video, but only on videos posted after September 8, 2014. When you post a video on Facebook as a Page you manage, you can see other metrics about video viewing behavior from a desktop computer.
Posting photos and videos on Facebook through iOS
iOS’s built-in Facebook integration lets you upload photos or videos to the service from any app, including Apple’s stock Photos app, via the multi-purpose Share menu.
As shown on the screenshot above, posting photos and videos in my Camera roll to Facebook is a cinch. I just select desired photos and/or videos in the Photos app and choose the Facebook option in the Share menu.
