Facebook is expanding its video advertising service to Britain, Brazil and five other countries. The 15-second video ads appear in users' newsfeeds and play automatically with the sound muted until they are clicked on. Facebook began selling the ads in the United States in March to a small group of marketers including insurance company Progressive Corp. and television broadcaster NBC, a unit of Comcast Corp.
