What triggers it

A video that is one static image with little motion, a slideshow of stills, a loop of the same segment (incl. GIFs), a text montage (images with overlaid text), or a static image poll.

What Facebook says

“Content that loops and displays the same segment multiple times.”

How to fix it

Use real footage with motion; avoid slideshows and loops for videos you want to monetize.

Good to know

Measure motion between frames and repetition of segments; quote-over-stock-footage montages count as text montages.
