    Short answer: not supported in the current version

    Longer answer – no easy way to do it. The Facebook API allows for posting videos themselves, but that requires uploading. It also allows for posting a link to a video (which it will translate into an embedded video) but that’s posting as a link where we are already posting the blog url.

    In other words, not likely to happen any time soon.

    isn’t there a way to play the video inside an Iframe like with youtube and vivo videos? Just curious.

    I *think* but haven’t had time to test, that the issue is the YouTube embed is done via http, but the blog/facebook app is called via https, so Facebook doesn’t allow the “insecure content” to be injected into the app.

    You could prove this by changing the embed to use HTTPS (see http://apiblog.youtube.com/2011/02/https-support-for-youtube-embeds.html ) and seeing if Facebook allows it.

    Basically, Facebook decides what is allowed/not allowed inside the iframe that wpbook is called into – not anything I can control.

    Per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20985739/embedded-youtube-video-wont-play-in-facebook-app changing to https on the embed should work
