Facebook Embedding?

[Amon-Si]

Can we embed videos from facebook on the forum?
If so, how does one go about it?

It would require a modification to the forum's code to work, and someone to actually make that code. I honestly don't know if someone has done a SMF mod package for Facebook videos, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't one. Check out the SimpleMachines site.

But my experience with video embedding codes are hit-and-miss. The only one I've ever been able to install that worked is the YouTube one we have.

Might want to pay some mind to whether it's a maintained modding. I'm not sure if this is the case for Facebook, but many websites supporting videos and video streaming have a habit of changing their code every now and then in a manner that breaks 3rd party embedding, downloading and streaming scripts.

In general, though, Facebook does go to some lengths to ensure their site gets maximum amount of useful info through it...
