facebook "stories"

[pelham456]

first off, what is the POINT of these? as i understand it, it's videos which DISAPPEAR after a set time? 24 hrs, wuzzit?

secondly, when i try to view one, i get "Expand your browser window to see this story". say whu? my browser (FF) is at 95% full screen -- just task bar and addy bar on edges. i am used to (occasionally) expanding a video or pic to total "full screen", but i don't see how to do it here. esp since nothing has even started DISPLAYING yet!

the four outward arrows it displays as a sort of "full screen" link do nothing. again, tho, i am used to seeing that in various apps when the media is NOT YET LOADED.

is it just the case that these work only on PHONES but not PCs? i am on a laptop.
