I have a page (URL) that visitors to my website can share on their wall. What I'd like is when their friends view the post in their feed that the link of the post clicks through to my website but that the post on their wall also include a video they can play directly in their feed.
I have been trying to get this to work with Facebook page meta data but so far no luck. I have added the following tags, is there anything obvious I'm missing?
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="xyz" />
<meta property="og:title" content="My Page Title" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video" />
<meta property="og:url" content="/url/to/my/site" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Lorem ipsum" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCydfLwgXI" />
<meta property="og:video" content="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCydfLwgXI" />
<meta property="og:video:height" content="640" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="385" />
<meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCydfLwgXI" />
Indeed, very popular question.

It is easy to put youtube video into meta tag. But I am trying to put a facebook page video into the og:video meta tag. However, the video doesn't show up. Any idea?

I found the facebook video download link can be used to put into the og:video and I changed the og:video:type to video/mp4. It works.
I'm interested in sharing embedded content on social media. My goal is to allow real estate agents to share a slide show of a house they're selling, and to this end I'd really like to be able to embed content rather than linking back to it.
A great example of what I want to do is here, on the authorStream facebook page.
How are they embedding this content? Do they have some deal with facebook?
If you're interested in how they did this, I recommend you use the OpenGraph Debugger and observe the tags they added to their page to make this content visible in this form. Here's a sample:
<meta name="og_site_name" property="og:site_name" content="authorSTREAM" />
<meta property="og:title" content="15 Steps to Prepare for an Interview -Sachin Karpe " />
<meta property="og:description" content="Sachin Karpe shares few steps before you walk for an interview.- authorSTREAM Presentation" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="632248145" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="26672622939" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://authorstream.s3.amazonaws.com/content/2177074_635379786451345000.jpg" />
<meta property="og:type" content="movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/sachinkarpe-2177074-15-steps-prepare-interview-sachin-karpe/" />
<meta property="og:video" content="http://www.authorstream.com/Player.swf?p=2177074_635379786451345000&r=1&pt=3&fb=1&mb=1&nb=1&pl=as&ap=0&c=#dfdfdf&fi=1" />
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://www.authorstream.com/player.swf?p=2177074_635379786451345000&r=1&pt=3&fb=1&mb=1&nb=1&pl=as&ap=0&c=#dfdfdf&fi=1" />
<meta property="og:video:height" content="402" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="481" />
<meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
Last, you could check the Open Graph Get Started documentation from Facebook

Please help me how to achieve this.
Its facebook default behavior so we cannot change it
I'm trying to post a SWF file on my Facebook profile.
The problem is that when the user clicks on the link he is getting transferred to the website where the SWF is hosted.
What I want is for the Flash to open inside Facebook like it does with videos.
The metatags I'm using are as follow:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Title" />
<meta property="og:image" content="ImgUrl" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Mini Description" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Sitename" />
<meta property="og:video:height" content="476" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="600" />
<meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
<meta property="og:video" content="Flash Url http" />
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="Flash Url https" />
After using https protocol the thumbnail on Facebook has the PLAY icon on it like it does with videos but when user clicks it, he is prompt to download the file.
You should add handler=fbplayer as a querystring in your https-secure url meta tag
eg flash.swf?handler=fbplayer
I added open graph tags to the following URL to enable video embedding on Facebook: http://store.staging.shoppost.in/Sm0OAdAleEW--6J6AW8brw
This worked up until a few days ago but now the thumbnail on the Facebook post no longer has the play button. Clicking on it now redirects to the URL rather than displaying the embedded Flash video. The puzzling thing is that the Facebook Object Debugger says there are no errors and that video embedding is enabled (as seen here).
Here are the open graph tags I am using:
<meta property="og:title" content="Wow, Look at that!" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product.item" />
<meta property="og:description" content="and now something that you've never seen before in all your days...." />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://media.staging.shoppost.in/physicalitems/0e1a8af7-736f-443e-b5e5-d09830c88f38/art/38213a2d-fe0e-4898-9d0e-80305c6e7230.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Shoppost" />
<meta property="og:video" content="http://store.staging.shoppost.in/ps/Sm0OAdAleEW--6J6AW8brw" />
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://store.staging.shoppost.in/ps/Sm0OAdAleEW--6J6AW8brw"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://store.staging.shoppost.in/Sm0OAdAleEW--6J6AW8brw" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_us"/>
<meta property="og:video:height" content="296" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="526" />
<meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash"/>
I have been struggling with this for a while, please let me know if you have any insight. Thanks!
