Users will see no more than three of the video commercials per day, Sarah Frier writes:

The move has been expected for months, and their launch has been delayed several times.
Facebook recently did a $100 million ad buying deal with Publicis Omnicom Group, a giant ad agency holding company that buys billions in TV advertising every year.

The videos won't be too intrusive - the sound won't blast at you as soon as they appear. Volume will only click on if you tap the ad, Facebook says:

- If the video is clicked or tapped and played in full screen, the sound for that video will play as well.
