  Hiya,
  I’m trying to embed a video from my Facebook page but its coming up with a black background where the video should be and says ‘Unavailable
  This video can’t be embedded because it may contain content owned by someone else.’ but then if I click on it the video appears…?
  How can I deal with this?
  Ideally I wanted to share the blog today!
  Thanks
  Jen

  Hi Jen, this may be a setting on the facebook video. If you’ll send a link to the affected post or page, we can check.

  Due to settings by the owner, you can’t embed that video. You can only publish a link to that video.

  I’m the owner so I can change the settings but I have no idea what to change them to for it to work…?

  You’ll need to check with Facebook’s documentation on that. The method tends to change often.
