Easiest Way to Embed Facebook Live Stream on WordPress

In the past, you could paste Facebook links directly on your website, and WordPress would automatically embed them.

Unfortunately, WordPress dropped support for this oEmbeds feature, so displaying content from Facebook became a lot harder.

Now, you’ll have to manually generate the embed code for each live stream and then add the code to your site.

As you can guess, this process can be long and complicated – especially if you’re not used to dealing with a lot of code.

Plus, you can’t customize how your live stream looks, so it might not even fit your website’s branding.
