Videos are everywhere on Facebook, and they can now be included in one more place: comments and replies to posts from users, pages, groups and events.

Software engineer Bob Baldwin announced in a note that the social network released the new feature worldwide Thursday.

The ability to add videos to comments was initially developed during Facebook’s 50th Hackathon in February, and Baldwin wrote that it is available via desktop, web, iOS and Android by clicking the camera icon next to the comment field.

Baldwin described how the feature was created during Facebook’s 50th Hackathon:

At the hackathon, we coded as quickly as we could all day, and by the evening, we could feel the pieces starting to come together.
