I just created a new Facebook account and for some reason Facebook wants a video selfie. Kind of hard for me to do as I do not have a webcam for my desktop computer I use to logon to the account. Only way I figure I can do this is to borrow my grandson's laptop. I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Thanks for the help.

That's about all you can do if not having a webcam at hand, just need to log into your FB account on that Notebook/Laptop. Or maybe same thing with a cellphone?

A cell phone is no go where I live in Vermont because we have NO SERVICE! But I will try the laptop "trick"

This must be all new since I had a Facebook account. Not a chance I’d start another account if this was required. What an invasion of privacy.

    …still on a horse.
With what I've seen on the Internet it can be assumed some security 'protections' are being put in place, this one should protect against spoofing an image of someone else or maybe underage.
