Hey guys i am trying to figure out how to embed this Video file from a friends FaceBook page into my build thread so it can be watched in the thread??

Can anyone else see the vids when you click on the link? and any idea how to make them display here?

Hi MR - the links you have posted reference a local file on your computer which will won't be abe to access. Not sure you can embed a FB video directly, however you should be able to link to it like any normal link. The only issue you might run is if they haven't made public the video (ie - only allow their "friends" to see it).

Sorry - MR - apparently looking at it you can embed a video from FB - so all you need to do is copy the URL (the address in the top of your browser of the video). The only issue will be is FB's code is not giving the full link to the video. I'll try post one up here to test.

OK - git it sussed - you can't link from the list of posts on FB - but if you click on the video you are trying to embed then copy the link of that page it should work fine.

Another way is to share it via email, then copy and paste the link and post it here.
I think it comes up as an addy, not a clip like you tube does, but it still should direct you to the vid.
