I have embedded a YouTube video on the index page of my website. I have a Facebook share button to share my page. I want the FB post to embed the YouTube video that's on my site but I can't get it to work. I was able to do it with twitter by using the player card. How can I can my YouTube video to embed on my FB post that is auto shared from my site?
Thanks in advance!
You can't do that.
If you check even the facebook share on youtube.com, the videos are not embedded in the posts.

On facebook you can see who watced your videos, and make retargeting, dark post etc. This is because the user is logged into facebook, and facebook tracks it.
But what if I embed the facebook video on a blog eg., does the tracking continues, or do I need to implementen a facebook tracking pixel on the blog aswell before the tracking on the video can continue, and retargeting is possible?
Found the answer... yes, facebook does track when using embedded videos.

I have a page on my site with integrated KAST player streaming with shoutcast. Now I want when a user shares this url on facebook wall it should show audio/video player instead if site link. it should be shared just like youtube video.
I have tried with og video/audio meta tags but its not working. I used an php code to get current track details and used them in og tags.
This isn't possible. Facebook does not currently allow developers to have an embedded player into the Facebook wall. Only some of the major players have this ability. Hopefully they will open this up in the future.
There is a service that automatically posts Shoutcast songs to Facebook, it posts the name of the song and the artist, and can also dynamically post a link to the song in YouTube. It doesn't allow you to listen within Facebook though, which I think is what you are asking. As mentioned, this now only seems to be allowed for some of the big players such as Sound cloud.
See autopo.st for the service mentioned above, it's a paid for service.
I'm searching for a way to embed an Iframe into a Facebook post on a user wall.
I know we can do this using a flash app and the open graph API but I have seen it done using an HTML Iframe on the wall of Soundcloud on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/soundcloud?fref=ts).
When you link a page from soundcloud and then launch the player from the wall it opens an iframe containing the player.
I don't know if it's a feature developped only for Soundcloud or if any developper can do the same.
Soundcloud is a Facebook Open Graph Music whitelisted partner. That's how they're doing this...
i think this a feature developed by facebook.
You can't see any special meta tags associated to iframe in soundcloud page.
I want to Share a Photo on facebook page that some one else created but the page is public.
I am using share kit API for iPhone sharing on own wall.
I was hoping someone can answer this question for me. I am trying to display wall posts, photos and videos for a certain user for example http://www.facebook.com/sony. I can see the wall posts, photos and videos without signing up for Facebook. Do I need to use the facebook connect API to access the photos and and videos for sony so that I can display them in my iPhone application? I need to display the wall posts as a table view and the images and videos as a gallery very much like how the facebook app displays it. Any help or a API specific page would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Firdosh
If you want to post to a facebook user's wall or status feed then you will need Facebook Connect API. Here's a video on how to add facebook connect to your iPhone App.
Here's the API documentation page you requested.
You will want to bear in mind, that Facebook video isn't able to be played on the iPhone as it's not encoded in any iPhone friendly format.
