Facebook announced on Tuesday morning that it’s testing such ads in the News Feed with a handful of advertisers. USA Today is calling this “…a move that takes aim at massive spending budgets for television ads.”

Facebook has offered video ads for some time, however, the auto-play feature is new. Prices for a 15-second auto-play video ad are said to range from $1 million to $2.5 million!
