No, its not possible to provide our own start card, the only thing we can control is image and text which will be displayed on the startcard

I am trying to embed facebook video into my website. I saw facebook embedded video api to control (play, stop, etc) the video using javascript. I think there is someway to hide the default control element from facebook but I just don't know how to do it.
Facebook Embedded Video
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-video-player
I found this article:
https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2015/12/14/embedded-video-api-oembed
So, does it means I can only customise the default facebook video player by using uStudio?
There is a way to hide controls.
You can hide controls using data-controls="false".
This option is not in documentation so I do no know if they will support it in the future.
Example code:
<div class="fb-video" data-href="<fb_video_url>" data-controls="false"></div>
It is not allowed in general:
Don’t obscure or cover elements of social plugins.

If you want to change it, you don't need to use uStudio - just use the API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-video-player/api
I wondered if anyone know how soundcloud has been able to create a widget that plays directly in posts and comments on facebook?
Is this done via a specific deal they made with facebook, or is there actually a way to create a widget display when a certain type of link is shared?
Any insight on how this works would be great.
Thanks.
read the FB documentation on open graph - og:video tag.
facebook allows to show SWF inside the posts/comments. So all you need is to create a flash player for your content.
I create one application on developer.facebook.com. and add 3 image 16,75 and 128. the application icon shows when i post text. but it doesnt show when i post video or image. should i make any changes in setting of the app on developer.facebook.com.
For example. in path.
in my application when posting text. the app icon appear.
but when posting image or video. the app icon disappear.
Thanks for help. i have done r&d on this and i got Facebook bug so is it right?: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/447623711966656?browse=search_50bfaaaf247045772567103
This is by design and isn't related to your application settings. Facebook display videos and photos uploaded by applications in different ways to status updates and sharing using the share dialog.
i'm making a web portfolio and i wanna add a button to share a photo on user wall, so when X user click "Share image" it should share the image selected.
I get it using Dialogs, but the image is publish in a very small size and if other wants to see it in full size they've to enter my website.
Don't you know how to make a script so when the user click "Share Image" it works at least similar as when you share a photo inside facebook (like when you share one of your images or something like that) ?
PS: Sorry for my english, i'm not english native and i know i don't speak it very well.
Thanks.
You cannot use Dialogs to upload photos to the user's profile. For this, you will have to use the PHP (or similar SDK) and POST data to the API. This blog post will help.
I'm developing a site for mobile devices (such as iPhones and Androids). And I would like to have a scenario when user clicks a button and hears a sound from audio-file (.wav for example). Is it possible to achive it somehow?
Thank you for your help!
You should be able to just add in a link or embed the file into the html for your site. Here is some info on it:
