Getting the video selfie accepted

Small details decide whether the selfie matches.

The video selfie compares your face with photos on the account. Meta says the video isn't shown on your profile and is deleted after review.

Before you record

• Daylight facing you, not behind you
• No glasses, hat, mask or heavy filter
• Your normal phone, with the camera lens cleaned
• A plain background
• Your look close to your profile photos (beard, hair)

While recording

1. Fit your face inside the oval.
2. Turn slowly when prompted: left, right, up, down.
3. Keep a neutral expression and hold the phone steady at eye level.

If it's rejected

• Wait before trying again rather than retrying right away.
• Check that the account actually shows your face. If it doesn't, the selfie can't match.
• Try the ID route if it's offered.

Repeated rejections are a common reason people come to UnbanPro. See video selfie rejected.

Questions people ask

What if my face isn't on the account?

The selfie can't match, so look for ID or other ownership options, or get help.

How many times can I try?

There's no published limit, but repeated attempts in a short time often fail. Space them out.
