  When I share my post to my Blog Facebook page the embedded video isn’t playable on Facebook. Is that a setting in YouTube or has this been disabled?

  I would prefer the traffic to my site but I would like them to see the video on Facebook, then click through to read the post.

  Hi there,

  When you manually share a post on Facebook, I’m not aware of any way to make Facebook embed the video in your Facebook post so it’s playable there. It only creates a link to your post so people can click through from Facebook to view the video on your blog. Has this worked differently for you in the past?

  One option to make the video more noticeable in the Facebook post is to change your post’s Post Format to a Video post. That will add an image from the video into your Facebook post so it’s more visible there, although readers will still have to click through to watch the video itself.
