When I share a link to any Youtube video the video is not loaded to the chronicle and only the link appears in the post as shown in the first link hereafter. In comparison links to vimeo video work well as shown in the second link hereafter. Could you tell why this happens with the links to Youtube video?

I would like to post a youtube video on my Facebook page, I used http://yt2fb.com/ to look like a native one and I would like it to autorun when I scroll down the page
I've downloaded http://www.thunderpenny.com/ and add autoplay=1 but it doesn't publish the video.
Do you have any suggestions?

I'm sharing a url which has meta tag for 'video' to show a youtube video when shared. Everything works fine and the video plays on fb, but not able to follow link and no description. If i click video title, video starts playing.
This is what i see. Clicking anywhere will play video.
Expecting something like the following(as youtube do) So clocking on play will play video and clicking link will take users to my page.
Got It. I just tried comparing meta tags line by line with youtube. The point is, Don't use Meta property og:video.
Use only og:video:url && og:video:secure_url
i am facing a problem while sharing a youtube video from my website using facebook share button,
the website contains Article, pictures and Videos imported from Youtube, all meta tags are well formatted and provided. but only with youtube when i try to share a video thumbnail is not shown !!! in the other side the description and the title all is shown and right.
i tried to check what facebook is recognizing from my website through (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) and the thumbnail is there !!!!
i also tried to take the video url directly from youtube and paste it to facebook and the thumbnail is shown, only when i click the share button from my website to share a youtube video the thumbnail disappear.
please help and thanks in advance.
I'm trying to do a Feed Dialog in Facebook with a video already uploaded in Facebook.
First, I tried putting in the 'source' param the URL of the video, extracting it with the json return by Graph Api. However, Facebook doesn´t support their own media URLs in this way.
My intention is to show the same effect when you click in "Share" in any video in you facebook profile, but I don't know how i can refer the video.
I don't find anything in the Facebook's developers documentation.
Try linking to the video page itself, like how you link to YouTube if you want to share a video. Facebook renders the YouTube player in the wall when you do this, so in theory it should do the same when you share a Facebook Video URL.
I've just found the option: "Embed this Video" . In the code that Facebook gives in this option, I can find the URL for the video (www.facebook.com/v/video_id), and this works fine in the feed dialog.
The problem was the URL given in the JSON.
Thanks
The video links shared via my website on Facebook appear as only images in the shared link; Facebook doesn't seem to recognize the content as video.
I've debugged the URL via Facebook debugger, and every thing appears fine:
<http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=www.vlikeviral.com%2Fvideos%2Fplay%3Fid%3D10>
The thumbnail that appears under the link does not have a play button on it. As you can see in the debug details, the appropriate og tags are already present on the page.
For video playing Facebook is not considering og:video tag, instead of that it is looking for og:video:secure_url tag
refer-link: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/602/
You seem to be missing an og:video tag pointing to the video source.
See also Shared Facebook video is not displayed inline in wall posts for HTTPS users - you also need to include the HTTPS source if you want users browsing Facebook over HTTPS to see the inline video.
It is very easy. You can add play button on an image like Facebook play button by using adobe Photoshop. Watch this video you will understand how to add it on the image.
