Facebook announced on Sunday that it will add a counter to videos which will show how many times a video has been seen, just like YouTube.

The new feature would allow both those who posted the content and those who are viewing it to see how many views a particular clip has received. The views will be shown on public videos posted by individual users and on company pages, CNET reported.

The addition of video views is just the latest in a line of improvements made to Facebook's videos. Last year, Facebook added an auto-play feature that would automatically start a clip as people scrolled through their news feeds, report said.

However, it's not clear how long Facebook will need to complete the rollout.
