Be the first in your friends to like itIn response to a question on the Digital Eve list, I’m writing this blog post. The question was:
Do you know if I can put a video in facebook (not just a link)?
And of course many people responded with information on how to post a video on Facebook.
I absolutely love Facebook, but I don’t love Flash (must be because I’m a “Mac girl” – read how being a Mac girl found me a husband here, in The #1 Thing I’ve Learned from the Life and Death of Steve Jobs, RIP). If you want to play a video on Facebook it plays it in Flash.
What I much prefer (but admittedly don’t use as much as I should) is the Youtube application for Facebook. Why? Because if people view videos via your Youtube tab on Facebook, Youtube counts the views. If you just upload a video file to Facebook, your views aren’t counted on Youtube. See How to Get Your Videos Found on Youtube in 4 Easy Steps for an explanation of why your Youtube views will get you farther than anything else.
So. Now that you know, here’s what the Youtube tab on our Facebook page looks like:
And here’s how you can set up your own YouTube tab, using the Involver app:
(It’s super-easy, so don’t think it’s a techie thing)
1. Log into your Facebook account.
2. Go to Involver’s app page and find the one for YouTube Channels. Click on the Free Install button.
3. The app will then take you back to Facebook and ask you to select the page that you want to add the YouTube channel to, from a drop-down menu. Once you do that click on the button that says Add YouTube for Pages.
4. Next, you’ll be asked to fill in your company name and phone number. After that you’ll go to another page where you will put in the name of the YouTube channel or user that you want your Facebook page to display (it doesn’t even have to be yours).
5. Check that all of the information is correct and press Save Changes, after which you can return to your Facebook page. It may take a few minutes for your YouTube tab to show up.
See, I told you it was easy!
Please link to your Youtube tab on Facebook in the comments below – I’m a Youtube junkie and that’s why I’m here at Starbucks chugging away, because Youtube videos keep me up at night. :-)

Thanks for the tip!
Are you sure that video views on FB don’t get counted as views on YouTube?
Do you have any articles or studies that prove that?
Thanks for reading Aaron! Let me ask you why the views would count on Youtube. If you simply upload the file, how is Youtube supposed to know it’s the same video? It’s technically impossible, unless Facebook and Youtube were in cahoots. But let me remind you that Google (owner of Youtube) and Facebook are rivals. The only way your views will count on Youtube is if you post the link to the Youtube video. But then it plays in Flash.
I don’t know too much about the technology, but it would seem to me that YT would have no problem tracking the views because the are sending the video content to play on FB for each viewer. FB certainly isn’t uploading and hosting the videos. My understanding is that when you post a YT link on FB it is simply being embedded on the FB just like it would on any other page. And YT definitely counts views from videos embedded on other pages.
Just as a simple (imperfect) test, yesterday I posted a YT video on a FB page that I run with 114K fans. Today, when I look at the public video stats for that video, I see that there was a large increase in views yesterday (I assume that most of the FB people didn’t click over to YT). In addition, under the “Significant discovery events” in the video stats it says, “First embedded on – facebook.com” then 99 views (I know that there is often a delay in reporting actual view on YT). However, this would also seem to imply that YT is counting views on FB.
Am I mistaken?
I’ve always told my clients that FB is a great way to increase views of YT videos and if I’m wrong, I really want to know.
Thanks for taking the time to respond
Kol Tuv,
Aaron
To clarify:
If you upload a simple file to Facebook, then Facebook is hosting your video.
If you post a link to your video from Youtube to Facebook, then your views will be counted on Youtube. But the problem here, from my perspective, is that it plays on Facebook in Flash.
If you don’t want your video to play in Flash on Youtube, AND you want your views to count on Youtube, use the Youtube app for Facebook to publish to your wall.
I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the info

Actually, Margelit, it depends on which application you use on Facebook to embed your videos. YouTube is, by definition, a video hosting site–the same as Vimeo and others. If you embed a video on Facebook via application or other means, then the embed code feeds information into the YouTube API.
Now to find the right application…
That’s exactly what I’m saying – we’re on the same page. But if you simply upload the file directly to FB, it will be in Flash, and youtube won’t count the views because it hasn’t gone through Youtube. Hope it makes sense?
Oh got it! Thanks for the help. Now if only I knew what app to use. YouTube for Pages by Involver looks to have a monthly fee attached, and I already have too many 3rd party apps to pay for another.
I hear. Somehow I think I installed the app before Involver took it over, so I don’t pay for it. Maybe I’ll do a blog post on must-have 3rd party FB apps. Which ones do you already use that you find indispensible? (sp?)
I currently use Lujure for creating Tabs/Apps and Hootsuite for content management. A few others I’ve used as trials but they haven’t stuck. What are your top picks?
Wow, Lujure looks great. Thankfully I saved up a bunch of fbml tabs from before Facebook moved to iFrames, and I’m still using them. I don’t use any paid apps. I love lovelove Hootsuite and use the free version.
I try to stick with the free stuff as well, but Lujure isn’t too much for what it offers, at least if you have multiple clients who need social media management. Start thinking Social Media Landing pages and Lujure gets pretty useful.
And of course, we can’t deny the necessity of Hootsuite.
Anyway, in an effort not to hijack Aaron’s blog, feel free to connect on facebook and maybe we can share some of our insights in the future (http://www.facebook.com/grant.hickman).
