Posting Facebook videos

[jefmcg]

I'm not sure how to identify the url of a fb video so that cc can recognise it. This is a link to a story that includes a video, but cc can't embed it. What am I missing?

I tried as well, not sure why it doesn't work

Unfortunately the forum software doesn't support embedding Facebook page videos so you'll just have to link to them.

Cheers,

Some tweaking of text is needed then...

Not really.

Facebook video's embed fine:


But the link you tried to embed was a Facebook "mobile" page URL with a video as part of the page, it wasn't a Facebook video URL.

To embed that video you first need to visit the non-mobile Facebook page for the Boroondara Police Service Area - https://www.facebook.com/eyewatchboroondara/

Then scroll down the wall to find the video. Right-click the video. Select Show video URL and copy the URL (https://www.facebook.com/eyewatchboroondara/videos/1216813574997170/). Head back to CC and click the media icon. Paste in the video URL ... and hey presto:


... or just link to the page if you're on a mobile device as it'll be much easier.

Cheers,
Shaun
