Posting YouTube videos on Facebook app (only link appears)

When I try to post a YouTube video as a status update on Facebook, only the link appears but no preview shot of the video like when I post from a computer. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using an iPhone 3GS if that matters and the newest Facebook app.

And you are getting the link from where exactly?
Use the YouTube web app instead which includes an option to share a YouTube video via FaceBook which will include the preview.

  • YouTube videos in Facebook app

    It used to be that when I tapped a YouTube link in the Facebook app it would launch the YouTube app and played the video. Now it just stays in Facebook and opens a web page for YouTube where it will not play the video. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix for it?

    What happens when you try?
    Error?
    Do any sites work??

  • When posting a video to Facebook from Camera app, how can I see the upload progress?

    Normally I use the ProCamera app to upload photos and videos from my iPhone 5S but I'm having trouble with it lately so I switched the standard Camera app to post a video to Facebook. I know it successfully posted, I received a notification after a while but is there any way to tell the progress of an upload in Camera? ProCamera displays an uploading message at least but I don't see anything in the Camera app.

    Did you have 'find my iPhone' activated on it? Because if you go to iCloud.com you can log in there and you can remotely lock or wipe your device.  From what I hear, the police won't do anything about going and fetching stolen iPads and iPhones, but if you have find my iphone/ipad/ipod/mac turned on then it will give you a map of where it is. 
    Just keep in mind that sometimes iTunes does ask you for your password regardless, and only a few weeks ago apple brought in security questions, so everyone had to fill in security questions for their iTunes account to make it more secure If all else fails, ring Apple cusomer support and they might be able to bar your account or something, however you may have to make a new account (the might be able to set it up so you have all your previous information on a new account)
    Hope this helps!

    Can you open up your Real Player and tell me what version you have? I think Real Player 15.0.6 is supposed to fix this problem. There was a conflict between Real Player and Flash this whole summer that broke Flash videos. Real Player released a update that might help in your case.
    If that doesn't help, I think a addon might be to blame here. So do this:
    <br> '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Troubleshooting Information'''
    <br> (or '''Tools > Help > Troubleshooting Information''')
    Then click the "Copy all to clipboard" button then paste it here. It will tell us what addons you have installed and I can see which one might be causing problems.

  • Videos in Facebook app don't rotate with iPhone rotation. Why?

    Hi,
    When I open a video from Facebook app in my iPhone 4S, it opens in portrait. But when turned in landscape, the video doesn't turn. In videos app, downloaded videos perfectly turn in landscape mode. Is this a bug in the app or I need to switch on some setup?

    I have solved my own problem:  After setting up the incoming SSL port in settings, it is necessary to re-start the iPhone.  After the re-start, the mail app works correctly using ports 995 and 465, both with SSL enabled.

  • OSX Firefox freezes when trying to play youtube videos on facebook.

    When I click on embedded youtube videos on facebook, OSX firefox freezes, and I need to force quit. Everything is up to date, and this problem has been going on for at least two updates.

    Hey virus1244,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Managing the Flash plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang|Managing the Flash plugin]]? It has a section on resolving freezing issues. This might be what you are looking for.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Flashplayer verursacht bei youtube videos und facebook spiele 100% cpu auslastung

    flashplayer verursacht bei youtube videos und facebook spiele 100% cpu auslastung.. biite hilft mir es ist nervig..  bei flashplayer beanspruchung ruckelt alles nur

    Ich hab keine ahnung was die hersteller des players eigendlich machen. seit der ersten 10 ner version geht bei keiner version mehr der vollbild,sondern es kommt nurnoch weißer bildschirm sobald man auf vollbild geht.egal ob bei firefox oder IE.lediglich der ton bleibt. und anstatt mal was daran zu machen,bringen die nur eine fehlerhafte version nach der anderen heraus. bei der 9ner version lief alles top. Ob nun aus profitgier oder was für gründe auch immer aber sie haben was funktionierendes hingeärmelt und nennen das auch noch update..ich würdes eher downdate nennen.
    immer mehr streams,games etc benötigen mittlerweile diese mehr als fehlerhafte version,sodas man kaum noch was mit der funktionierenden 9 ner version anfangen kann.
    ich würd gern mal wissen ob die hersteller des adobe flash players endlich mal die fehler beseitigen oder ob die noch ein paar jahre diese fehlerhaften versionen produzieren wollen. ich für meinen teil versuche weiter die 9 ner zu verwenden solang das noch geht und ansonsten such ich ne alternative.gibt ja bestimmt noch andere anbieter mit funktionierenden versionen.Zumindest hoffe ichs mal.Sollte mal wieder ne aktuelle version des adobe funktionieren würd ich die gern nutzen,aber nach  2 jahren fehlerhafter versionen glaub ich langsam nich mehr dran.

  • Could I link my existing youtube videos (or Facebook, Myspace, Vimeo, Flickr duplicates) in a field somewhere and link to them (after initially submitting a podcast feed URL)?

    I've found podbean.com, and will explore podomatic.com, for submitting video podcasts to the iTunes Directory. But now that I've found these RSS feed URL generators (and will look for others) is there a way within these websites or in blogs to link to my existing videos on Facebook, for example, and the video appear in the iTunes Store?

    I'm afraid not - please see my response to your post in the other thread.

  • How to view a youtube video in facebook on ipad?

    How come i cannot view a youtube video posted in facebook?

    Yes, and if that presents any problems, you do have the You Tube application already installed on iPad.  It is a native application and you can watch any You Tube video through this app. 
    Safari is a great webrowser.  But if you want to wach any videos on iPad, find the App in the App store and you won't have any issues.  For example, you could be on CNN.com through Safari and if you try to click on a video, you likely won't be able to watch it.  But, if you download the CNN app from teh App Store, you'll be able to watch all CNN videos through the App.  It is a really logical and safe way to see what you want to see. 

  • Embedding YouTube video in iOS app?

    I need a YouTube video to play inside my iOS app. I know there's a Youtube API for AS3, but I haven't had much luck getting it to work. When I test the app on my computer, I get the error "SecurityError: Error #3207: Application-sandbox content cannot access this feature", and on the iOS device it just does nothing. I have set Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com").
    Does anyone have working example of getting this to work on a mobile device? Or is there another library altogether that I can use?

    So basicly your putting a video in to your flash project

  • Watch this video. Facebook app on s60 5th edition.

    Watch this video, it show the Nokia n97 running a facebook application that runs similar to the iphone app. 
    why has this not yet been released for the Nokia 5800. instead, we're stuck with the stupid mobile site which doesnt work well at all.
    what do you think?

    When you access Facebook through the phone's built-in browser, the Facebook website detects that you are using a mobile browser and displayes the mobile version of the web site. Most websites today detect your browser and act accordingly, this allows them to check if your browser is compatible with their content and advise you if you need to upgrade.
    In the case of mobile browsers, it gives you the less data-intensive version, but this does not mean you can't select the "Full site" link at the very bottom of the mobile page. This is only advisable, however, if you are connected via WLAN or have a fixed-rate data plan, as Facebook will pile up the megabytes pretty quick.
