Sharing a Video on Facebook

Updated December 05, 2024 13:25

Overview

If you manage a business page on Facebook, you can post organic video content to the page directly from the SundaySky Video Platform.

Following are the key points to know about sharing a video on Facebook:

The video needs to be approved for sharing before it can be shared on Facebook.
A button added to a scene will not be clickable when watching the video in Facebook. We therefore recommend not adding buttons in the SundaySky platform. Instead, as a Facebook user, you can create CTA buttons using Facebook Ads Manager.
Once a video is shared on Facebook, any edits made to the video in the SundaySky platform will not affect the shared version. If you would like the edits to be seen in Facebook, you'll need to approve the video edits and then share the video again.
For in-depth information on sharing a video in general, see Sharing a Video.

1.	On the Video Page, click the Share tab.
2.	Make sure that the video status is Approved to share.

3.	Click Facebook on the right side of the page.

4.	(Optional) If this is the first time that you are sharing a video on Facebook, connect your account to Facebook.

5.	(Optional) If your video includes personalization, you can create a viewer profile that defines what content is included in the video that you are posting.

6.	Preview the video to make sure that it looks exactly as you expect.
7.	Click Use This Video.

	The Share on Facebook window is displayed with: a. A static preview of the Facebook post. Note that this is only a visual approximation. b. The name of the business page on which the video will be posted. If you'd like to change to a different page, see Switching to a Different Page After Connecting.

8.	Enter a description that will be displayed in the Facebook post. ▶ This field is mandatory. ▶ You can also use hashtags to describe the video.

9.	(Optional) Enter a title for the video. ▶ A descriptive title helps viewers find your video.

10.	Click Post Now at the bottom of the window.
11.	Go to your Facebook page to see the video that you posted. ▶ To go directly to the posted video, click Copy Post URL on the green confirmation message (bottom of page) and then paste the URL in the browser.

	In the Facebook post, you'll see the description and video title that you entered in steps 8 and 9 above. ▶ The note "Published by Ayrshare" is displayed by the post when administrators access the page. Non-admin viewers of your Facebook page will not see this note.

	On the Video Page, the video status is updated to Shared and a timestamp is added next to Facebook. Hovering over the timestamp displays the user who shared the video.
