If you are planning a visit to the White House anytime soon, please note: Your smartphones and cameras are now welcome.

In this funny YouTube short, First Lady Michelle Obama announces that the photography and social media sharing ban in the White House is now over, so you can Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., to your heart’s delight.

The ban, according the White House’s YouTube channel, has been in place on public tours for over 40 years. It’s part of the Obama Administration’s move toward greater transparency.

But please, for the sake of everyone, leave the selfie sticks at home.
