Facebook Video Selfie Checkpoint

Recently, many Facebook accounts have encountered the "Confirm your identity with a video selfie" checkpoint – requiring a video of your face to verify your identity. This is a security mechanism of Meta Platforms to detect accounts with unusual activity or suspected of not belonging to real users.

Some common reasons why accounts are easily subjected to checkpoints:

• Logging in with too many different IP addresses in a short period of time
• Using low-quality VPN/Proxy/Remote Desktop IP
• Constantly changing devices, unusual browser fingerprints
• Logging in with multiple accounts on the same machine
• Spamming actions: adding friends, joining groups, running ads continuously
• New accounts that are too active
• Using unstable or leaked cookies/tokens
• Nurturing accounts without real user behavior
How to avoid selfie video checkpoints:

Use a clean, stable IP address
– Avoid spam datacenter IPs
– Prioritize residential/mobile IPs
– Don't change countries frequently
– Each account should be fixed to one IP address or a familiar IP region

Limit unusual logins
– Don't log in from too many devices
– Don't switch browsers frequently
– Don't log in from your phone and then immediately switch to a VPS

Create genuine user behavior
– Browse newsfeeds

– Watch videos
– Interact gently
– Use real avatars, cover photos, posts, and friends

Don't spam
– Limit adding friends in bulk
– Don't send too many identical messages
– Don't create/run too many ads in a short period of time

Secure your account fully
– Enable 2FA

– Add email and phone number
– Verify basic personal information
If you've been flagged for a selfie video checkpoint:

• Record in a well-lit area

• Do not wear a hat/glasses

• Record the account owner's real face
• Minimize actions after submission

• Wait for system approval

Currently, selfie video checkpoints are very common, especially with advertising accounts or accounts logged in in unusual environments. Ad creators should pay attention to IP addresses, login environments, and usage behavior to maintain account stability in the long term.

It is still unavoidable to scan the account, sir.

Good information on how to avoid verification. But when it happens...
For me, If I encounter a selfie video verification, I try to change it to a selfie photo. I pass much more often. How change video selfie to photo selfie?
You can add "free" ex. subdomain:

https://free.facebook.com/...

This will make you pass verification much more often. Its working only on desktop version FB.

I see previous time, we can get profile back after taking video selfie, but now, it doesn't work. it hardly can use this profile and need to use a new one.

about 80% can back to live as i see

Good points, overall you just have to be careful not to trigger the FB bot detector. Once it gets on the radar, it's almost guaranteed you will lose it

If you need any assistance, please let me know, and I will help you.

Good Information

Once you're under review, the chances of getting an account opened are very low.

Yes, unless it's a genuine account, the success rate will be lower for purchased accounts.

Lately, the success rate for video appeals has been very low.

It's not just you, many real-life accounts (those held by normal people) are subject to video selfies now, back then it was ID check (checkpoint) after some time, used to be years until they ask you for your ID. I believe the Facebook subreddit on Reddit (/r/facebook) is mostly populated with real humans complaining about Facebook increasingly requirements to verify accounts held to a real human with a government identity (the official reason is always "to keep our platform authentic and without bots")
