They say in the news articles that you can tap some "edit my movie" button, but I am unable to find any such button. Also, I don't see an option to share the video on facebook. Can anyone give me some directions? Thanks!

Am I missing something? It's just 6 photos that I've uploaded, 4 of which are from the past month. It looks like people here are talking about music, but the page is not playing music in Chrome.

It's not playing on Internet explorer. Mozilla is working fine.

do a Google search for "a look back facebook" and there will be a link in about any article. Here's one: http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2014/02/04/facebook-unveils-l...

just click on the link and your video should pop up. I did see something in one article that based on the content of your facebook (the quantity of your pictures and posts) you may either see a video, a collection of photos, or just a "thank you" note.

"Depending on how much content you have shared and how long you have been on Facebook, you will either see the personalized video, a collection of photos or a simple thank-you card, the spokesperson said.

Facebook said users will be able to share the video on their pages after 12 noon ET on Tuesday. The videos will only be available for about a month unless you share them on your Timeline. Only you will be able to view your video if you don’t share it."

So I guess if you don't share it the first time you watch it, you won't ever be able to. I really enjoy the videos and it sounds like they built each one so I appreciate that but it also sounds like a lot of people got skipped over and they kind of dropped the ball on not being able to share past the first view. Hopefully after they have a rest they will change that.

there isn't a green button on my screen. I found a link to a similar compilation called "Year in review" and there is a green "share" button on that, but "A look back" doesn't have it. Does anyone else have any advice?
