Social network Facebook is set to present a new video ad solution in its newsfeed starting from July to increase revenue.

The move, which came after its shares lost ground last year, is aimed at carving out a share of the video ad budget of major advertisers.

This new type of ads will start automatically on the user's newsfeed, and might be taken as an intrusive feature.

Each ad is limited to only 15 seconds and an individual user will be exposed to only one brand each day.

Several global brands such as Nestle, American Express, Ford and Coca Cola will join Facebook's initial launch of the video ad platform.
