Facebook videos have links to share the Facebook video on your wall \/ friends wall, but does not provide an embed code. Here is how to do it.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Go to Facebook Video Page<\/h3>\n<p>When you are viewing a Facebook video in your news feed \/ profile and reach the end, these are the options offered.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18662\" title=\"facebook-video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/facebook-video.png\" alt=\"facebook video url\" width=\"410\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/facebook-video.png 410w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/facebook-video-150x118.png 150w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/facebook-video-300x236.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click on the &#8220;Go to Video&#8221; link and you are directed to the Facebook video page.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Find Facebook Video Url<\/h3>\n<p>Now look at the long url address in the browser location bar. It will look something like this<\/p>\n<p><em>http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/video\/video.php?v=123456789012345<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is the url of the Facebook<em> video page<\/em> and cannot be embedded. We have to edit \/ shorten this url \u00a0to get the actual Facebook <em>video url<\/em> to embed. So this is the shorter url we need (note the changes, number stays same)<\/p>\n<p><em><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>2. Get Facebook Video Embed Code<\/h3>\n<p>If you look at the old style embed code for <em>any <\/em>Youtube video, you find it looks like this<\/p>\n<pre><code>&lt;object width=\"500\" height=\"314\"&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"movie\" value=\"<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><\/span><\/strong>\"&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;\r\n&lt;embed src=\"<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><\/span><\/strong>\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"314\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"&gt;&lt;\/embed&gt;\r\n&lt;\/object&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This is a standard embed code for shockwave flash video. We have highlighted the embedded youtube urls. Now replace those youtube urls with the Facebook urls.<\/p>\n<pre><code>&lt;object width=\"500\" height=\"314\"&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"movie\" value=\"<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><\/strong><\/span>\"&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;\r\n&lt;embed src=\"<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><\/strong><\/span>\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"314\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"&gt;&lt;\/embed&gt;\r\n&lt;\/object&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Paste in\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">html mode<\/span> in your post, and your Facebook video is embedded!
