Overview
People, public figures, and media organizations turn to Facebook to share their thoughts when news breaks. With embeds, you can capture these messages, photos, and videos on your site and add a unique context to your story.
Embedded Video Player
Bring videos from Facebook to your site. The Embedded Video Player will show basic controls like sound, play/pause, HD/SD toggle, and full-screen mode. It will also display the video's title, author, and view count, as well as give people the option to like the video or share it with friends.
Learn more about the technical details of the video player on our Developers site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which content can be embedded?
How do I embed a post on my site?
You can get an embed code directly from the post, whether in News Feed, on a person's public profile, or on a Page. Click on the drop down arrow icon that appears in the top right corner of the post on Facebook. Choose 'Embed Video' or 'Embed Post' from the drop down menu that appears. You will see a window appear with the code to embed your video. Copy and paste this code into your web page in the place where you want the video to appear.
What does it mean to embed a video post (versus a video)?
In certain situations it may make sense to include the author's original message along with a video. Choosing to embed the post will give you the video along with context from the original author.
