Embedded Facebook videos

Hi Thanks, 

don't know if anyone is having same problem as me (to say i am completely useless when it comes to IT matters would be a gross understatement),

but when you embed fartbook videos, I can play them however it plays only a zoomed in version of the video, as in in the video above all i see is the dashboard of a car.

The click on fullscreen does nothing so the only way to see the whole video is to go to the facebook page to watch.

Is it something I am doing wrong, is there an easier way to view?

What device, site version, and browser type are you using? Desktop, mobile, iPad, Tapatalk...? 

Does this video appear correctly in the container here:

Or perhaps this one:

.

The first one is using the post plug-in, the second one the video plug-in code generator.

I'm only using the standard Facebook plug-ins:

For pure video plug-ins this one:

For post plug-ins this one:

Instead of embedding a Facebook video manually, you can also let the forum software do the whole job. You just have to copy the video link address and paste it into the standard (WYSIWYG) editor here. To find the video address you can right click on the video, click on "display video URL", copy the video URL (video address) and paste it here. Hit enter and the forum software should do its magic...

Depending on your browser, app, device and operating system this option to find the video URL may or may not work.:blush:

If it doesn't work, you can try the following: Go to the desktop version of FB (either by using a PC or by removing the "m" in front of the website address in your mobile browser) and click on the three dots on the upper right hand corner of the post. This should open a menu with the option to copy the link. Do this and paste the link here in the forum editor, hit enter, and wait a second or two before the video shows up.

Video embedding works best with high-speed internet connections, such as a good WIFI or at least 4G / LTE. If you are using slow network connections and / or older hardware with little RAM, these posts with embedded media might take a while to load...:(

Example for automatically embedding a Facebook video: The latest CIB Facebook post is this video posted yesterday. On a PC you click on the post, click on the three dots and copy link. Paste this link into the editor here.

The link should look like this:

https://www.facebook.com/401617183283119/videos/698811364217069/

After the domain name, there's the FB account number, then the word "videos", and finally the video ID. If your link looks a lot different than the one above, then there's something wrong.. Perhaps you copied the web address / URL where the video was posted to instead of the specific address of the video...

Again: If you paste this video link here and hit enter / return, the forum software will (should) automatically embed the video...

The same principle (i.e., copying the media URL (video URL, audio URL, image URL/ address) can be applied to embed media from other social media sites, such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn, Giphy, Tenor, imgurl, Snapchat, Pinterest, twitch, Soundcloud, DeviantArt, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Tumblr, and so on. I think it even works with VK and Whatsapp. I'm not so sure about Chinese sites such as Youku. 

Good luck!

On my mobiles, automatically embedded links fill the page, and load if I try to swipe pass them, so when there's a lot of videos auto-embedded, they all play and crash the browser. 

Manually embedded videos are a smaller screen footprint and allow space to swipe without touching the embedded video.

 i tried embedding unsuccessfully.

1. <iframe src="https://shemalez.com/embed/284774" width="650" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

2. https://shemalez.com/videos/284774/cutie-natty-is-here-frans-tgirlworld/?utm_source=search

 

cheers

I think the reason your embed link didn't work in the cib thread is that you pasted the iframe code into the rich text editor of the forum and not into the html editor...

Try editing your post and paste the iframe code of the Nutty video into the html editor by clicking on the "Source" tab. After you've pasted it there click on the Source tab again (the first tab on the left with the html logo:  <>) to return to the rich text editor and the video should now be showing.

If it appears to break the screen then this has probably to do with the width in the iframe code. 

width="650" is too large for smart devices. I usually edit the width parameter down to around 310...

...for desktop computers 650 might be fine however... 

This is how it'll look if you keep the width at 650:

 

This will be if you set it to 300 and set the scrolling parameter to: scrolling="yes" 

And this will be the outcome if you reduce the width to 300, allow scrolling, and reduce the height to 280: .

Another issue I see is that the porn site you want to embed isn't tmk available in LOS without VPN... 

Good luck!

Here's a good site that describes how to embed content from the most popular social media sites:

https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/embed-social-media-posts-guide

Remember that you first have to switch to the HTML editor by clicking on the <>Source tab:

IMG_20200722_102827.jpg

Paste the iframe embed code in the HTML editor. Click on <>Source tab again to get back to the rich text editor and there you should see the result. Sometimes, for example embedding Twitter cards or TikTok videos or Tenor GIFs, you first have to submit the post before you see the result, says Chandler Bing...

 
For embedding FB posts and videos, I recommend using a desktop computer instead of the mobile version of this site. Edited by Thanks
