How to do a Facebook Video Embed Whitelist Request? - facebook

Question

I need to post a swf on user wall and it is able to play inside the wall.
I searched the solution for few days and understand that I need to apply a facebook video embed whitelist request in order to do it. However the old request form link doesnt work (http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=video_embed_whitelist).
Anyone can help?

Answer 1

If you try writing something in the Facebook pop-up that comes up and then publish it to feed, the video would play there on the wall itself when the thumbnail is clicked.
If the feed doesn't have a message, the thumbnail becomes a direct link to the SWF itself and opens up in a new window.

Answer 2

You don't need to apply for any whitelist request for this. Any feed story can contain an SWF in it. Please see the Facebook JavaScript SDK for information about what elements you can post within a feed story. One parameter that you can use is the source parameter.
Taken from the documentation :
source:
The URL of a media file (e.g., a SWF or video file) attached
to this post. If both source and picture are specified, only source is
used.
so... for example - you could make a call with these parameters :
var obj = {
method: 'feed',
link: 'http://your_site.com/',
source: 'http://your_site.com/your_swf_movie.swf',
name: 'Publish SWF in feed!',
caption: 'SWF's are cool',
description: 'Here is an SWF file!.'
};
FB.ui(obj);

Answer 3

If your site is in the white list, the swf may play directly on the wall, otherwise it will pop up a new window to play the swf.
