    How to Embed a Facebook Video on Your Website or Blog Post

    By in Facebook

    Recently I become a fan of videos being shared on facebook. Since Facebook is a community of real human so videos which got likes can’ be fake. More over the quality of videos which are shared on Facebook are better than any other video hosting website.

    When you watch a Facebook video you don’t see any option of embedding video . There are many videos which I wanted to share with you and use it for my other project but since embedding option was not there I could not use it.

    Thanks to ampercent for this useful tutorial which shows how you can embed Facebook video inside your blog post.

    Embedding Facebook video:

    Here is a simple step by step process which you can follow to embed any Facebook video into your web-page.

    Click on Go to video on any Facebook Video:

    go-to-video

    From the URL copy the highlighted part: (i.e your Video ID)

    highlighted-vide

    Now in this embed code: replace the xxx with Video ID and you paste the code in HTML format and you will have your Facebook video on your blog post

    <object width=”400″ height=”224″ >
    <param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
    <param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
    <param name=”movie” value=”http://www.facebook.com/v/xxx” />
    <embed src=”http://www.facebook.com/v/xxx” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”
    allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”400″ height=”224″>
    </embed>
    </object>

    .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre

    {

    font-size: small;

    color: black;

    font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace;

    background-color: #ffffff;

    /*white-space: pre;*/

    }

    .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }

    .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }

    .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }

    .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }

    .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }

    .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }

    .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }

    .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }

    .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }

    .csharpcode .alt

    {

    background-color: #f4f4f4;

    width: 100%;

    margin: 0em;

    }

    .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }

    Great tip, since i also use videos embedding alot.

    Only the question is, is it valid xhtml code? Common problems by embedding is the code contains alots of errors in W3C =(

    Thanks for sharing :) I wondered for a long time how to do this. My Facebook is what I use mostly for personal things and now I can integrate my videos in the blog.
