Vimeo continues to make it easier for video content to be shared across platforms. The most recent integration is with LinkedIn company pages, which is the first video platform to offer end-to-end integration with LinkedIn. Through Vimeo’s ‘Publish to Social’ feature, business pages can now directly publish videos to LinkedIn.

3. Snapchat Introduces Snap Camera, Brings Lenses To Desktop
You can now use Snapchat lenses on your desktop on third-party live streaming apps and video chats through the Snap Camera app. The best part is that Snap Camera can be integrated with Youtube or Skype. Now available for Mac and Windows, Snap lenses are just a download away and you don’t need to create a Snapchat account to use the app.
4. You can now share songs on Shazam directly to Instagram Stories

Shazam and Instagram are teaming up! Shazam just announced a new feature that allows users to identify songs and then immediately post the results to their Instagram Stories. In order to do this, Shazam any song, and then tap the share button. Instagram should pop up as an option if you’re using the newest version of both apps. This prompts the cover art to be posted to your Instagram story along with a button that says “More on Shazam,” which links back to the song page in the Shazam app.

It is time for a makeover on Facebook? Facebook is trying to make another substantial shift that will make history. It’s hard to believe now, but it was not always clear that Facebook could make the leap from desktop to mobile while growing revenue. Not only did Facebook become dominant on mobile, it turned the News Feed into a money-printing machine. Will they take another leap of faith?
