How to Embed Responsive Facebook Videos on Your Website

Looking for ways to add responsive Facebook video embeds to your site?

By showing Facebook videos, you can keep website visitors engaged and even convert them into new followers.

But if you’re not used to handling code, it can be tough to embed responsive Facebook videos.

So, we’re going to help you out by showing you the easiest way you can embed Facebook videos on your site.

Before that, let’s see how showing responsive videos from Facebook can help your business.

Or you can click here and skip to the tutorial.

Why Add Responsive Facebook Video Embeds to Your Site?

Facebook is the biggest social media platform out there and a fantastic source of engaging video content.

If you want an easy way to keep visitors on your website, you can simply embed relevant Facebook videos.

And if your Facebook videos are responsive, they’ll have the same aspect ratio on all devices. Meaning that people on mobile devices can check them out as well.

On top of boosting your visitor’s engagement, you can also get much better SEO if people spend more time on your site.

What’s more, you can also embed responsive Facebook videos on your site to:

  • Show video reviews and testimonials on your product pages to convert visitors into customers
  • Display your live videos and get more people to join your live events
  • Promote your own Facebook videos to get more views, likes, and followers
  • Add content like Q&A sessions, interviews, and more to build a relationship with your visitors
  • And much more… 

By embedding videos from Facebook, you can boost your Facebook presence, get more sales, and grow your business.

Another way to display Facebook videos on your site is to use iFrames. But if you want your website to grow, using embeds is better than iFrames.

After all, search engines like Google can’t actually read content from iFrames.

If you use a Facebook embed instead, search engines can recognize the keyword-rich social media content on your site and help rank your site even higher.

Now, let’s go ahead and take a look at the easiest way to embed responsive Facebook videos.

Easiest Way to Add Responsive Facebook Video Embeds to WordPress

To show Facebook videos on your website, there are 2 options that you can use:

  • Manual Way: Generate an embed code for your Facebook video and then add the code to your website.
  • Automatic Way: Use a WordPress plugin that can embed Facebook videos on your site automatically – no coding needed.

By choosing the manual method, you’ll have to deal with a lot of embed codes which can take a lot of time and effort.

Unless you hire a designer or manually tweak all the codes, you can’t change how your Facebook videos look. So, the embedded video player can clash with the design of your website.

Plus, you won’t have a support team to help you out in case anything goes wrong when adding embed codes to your site.

The solution?

You can use a Facebook feed plugin to embed responsive videos on your site. And the best option for that is Facebook Feed Pro.

All you have to do is follow a 3-step process that’ll help you create Facebook feeds, customize them, and embed them on your site.
