Embedding a YouTube video link in your Facebook business page is relatively easy. Clicking the Facebook button in YouTube's Share options will put it there immediately. If you want to schedule when the post appears, you'll have to copy the link and post it into Facebook yourself. Show
Unfortunately, as of 2019, embedding YouTube videos that will play inside a Facebook page isn't possible. However, if you own the video, you can download it from your YouTube account and upload it into Facebook. Quickly Posting a YouTube Link to Your Facebook Page
Scheduling a YouTube Video PostIf you want to schedule when your post appears on your page, you'll have to do it manually. Clicking the Facebook button in YouTube's share menu won't give you this option.
Giving YouTube Videos Specific Start TimesIf you would prefer that the video starts at a specific time, rather than at the beginning, you can set this up in YouTube if you're using a web browser. Suppose, for example, you are sharing a competitor's video and you would rather that your clients don't see its logo in the first 15 seconds. Skip ahead in the video to where you want it to start, and then pause the video. Now, after you click the "Share" link, you will see a checkbox beside "Start at 0:15" at the bottom of the Share window. Click the checkbox. A time stamp is now added to the end of the URL, "?t=15" indicating that it will start playing 15 seconds into the video, rather than at the beginning. The link created when you click the Facebook share option, or any of the other share options will also have this time stamp, provided the checkbox is clicked. This option isn't available on YouTube's mobile app. Downloading YouTube Videos to Upload in FacebookIf you have uploaded a video to YouTube, you do have the option to download it and then upload it to Facebook. Log into your YouTube account in any web browser; click your account icon and then select "YouTube Studio (beta)." Click the Videos tab in the left panel and then hover over the video you want to download. Click "Menu," and then click the "Download" icon. Navigate to your Facebook page; click "Create Post" and then click the "Add Photo/Video" button. Updated on 06-09-2016 by Saqib Shah: Added details on the launch and creation of Facebook video comments. According to Facebook product engineer Bob Baldwin, video comments are supported on desktop web, iOS, and Android. Consequently, you can use the new visual media option to interact with people and pages, as well as within groups and events. The update will likely result in a lot more data being cramped on to Facebook’s servers, but that’s the social network’s concern not yours — so get uploading. To post a video response on Facebook, users must tap the camera icon in the comment box beneath a post (as you would if you wanted to post a pic), which will then connect to your smartphone’s camera library, allowing you to share a prerecorded clip. The new option expands the multimedia features already available within the comments section, including the ability to post images, links, Facebook stickers, and emoji. Facebook video comments are available worldwide.Baldwin claims the video comments functionality was created within the span of a day, during Facebook’s 50th Hackathon earlier this year. He adds that the hackers that worked on the new feature included individuals who had previously built multimedia options into posts, and had contributed to the expansion of Facebook Live. “To add support across interfaces and within two heavy traffic services, like comments and videos …[would] be a challenge in a month, let alone a single day,” writes Baldwin. Although Snapchat comparisons get thrown about a lot in regards to Facebook, the feature undoubtedly brings it closer to the visual messaging app, which is primarily built upon image and video exchanges. Facebook will also be hoping that it encourages more people to share videos, making them more comfortable with the medium as a form of communication. This in turn could encourage users to adopt Facebook Live, and begin streaming more frequently. Editors' Recommendations
