  1. Thanks Art – your reply clarifies things for me. I want to embed a video on my Facebook post without the user being sent to YouTube to watch the video, and me not getting the views on my FB page. You’re right of course, to embed means it sits on your own page, and users can watch it there. This detailed information really doesn’t tackle what information I was looking for, but you managed to clear that up for me, thank you! So in a nutshell, FB is useless for embedding videos.

  2. You do know what “embed” means
    All of your instructions are only creating links to videos on YouTube. Any user who clicks on those links are redirected to watch the video on YouTubem

    An “embedded” video means when users click on the video in the Facebook post, the YouTube video plays right there in the Facebook post. That’s what “embed” means.

    It used to be easy to embed but looks like Facebook has stopped the ability, I don’t know.

    You can “embed” a YouTube video on your own website, just not Facebook it seems. (on desktop site > under YouTube video > click on “Share” > click on “Embed” (above social media icons list) > copy code given (ctrl+c windows, cmd+c on mac) > paste code on your website, social media post, and it used to work on your Facebook post (doesn’t work anymore).

    Hope that helps clarify a bit.
