I have an app which displays an overlay over a chromeless Youtube video (or html5 video with sources from my server) with my own controls and functions. I would like to embed this app into Facebook posts the same way Youtube videos get embedded. Is this possible with the current Graph API, or is this limited only to Youtube?

I recently saw a Vimeo video on facebook that had a call to action at the end that's set up in the Vimeo admin. So basically facebook is somehow allowing sharing of videos from Vimeo to play on facebook's platform through the Vimeo API,
Does anybody know how they're doing this?
Hard to tell without looking at the Facebook post itself, but there are two possibilities:
If the video is playing in Facebook's native video player, then the page uses Vimeo's Publish to Social feature, which was released last fall: https://vimeo.com/blog/post/publish-videos-to-your-social-channels-instantly
If the video is playing with the Vimeo Player, then the video has a CTA end screen, documented here: https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115007893267-End-screens.
Note that these features require a Vimeo PRO or Business account.
I'm looking for an approach to an interactive installation.
We will dispose several tablets on a wall from where we want to show some videos.
We would like to launch those videos depending on social media reactions, such as a "Like" on Facebook or a hashtag on Twitter (for example).
That means,for instance, when you like some specific content on Facebook, a video is played (but not a Facebook video; content can be stored wherever).
Any direction to start research?
Thanks in advance!
Can I show the number of views for YouTube video from my FaceBook application . I need only views via my application not all views from YouTube.
Not really a facebook question, but you will be using the YouTube API.
Here is an answer explaining it: How to get number of video views with YouTube API?
I'm creating a site which allows the user to watch videos. The videos are hosted on YouTube and embedded into our site. We would the user to be able to share our site on Facebook and have the video play inline on the Facebook wall.
We've gotten this to work using Open Graph tags, but there is one problem: when using Facebook through the iOS app or via iOS Safari, an error message comes up saying the playback is not supported since it requires Adobe Flash. Note that when you share a YouTube.com URL, there is an automatic fallback to HTML5 and the video will play on the wall.
How can I get my video to play on the wall? Or at least, how can I make the video link point to our site instead of triggering the error message?

Thanks.

iPhone App how to post Youtube video link using facebook graph Api
Posting an embedded video link using the Facebook Graph API
How can I post a video, via Facebook's Connect API, to my Facebook profile page?
Can anyone explain how (or point to sample code) to embed a video into a user's Facebook feed? This would be identical functionality to what the "Share on Facebook" button does on YouTube and Hulu. The video would be hosted on my site, and presumably viewed using a Flash-based video player. I am particularly interested to know how this can be accomplished through the new Facebook Graph API, or if that's not possible, through the old REST API. Thanks!
