How to Post Videos to Facebook

Posting videos to Facebook is a great way to share personal moments or your favorite new videos with friends. You can post videos using the Facebook page on your computer or the mobile app. The video will be posted as a post, but you can limit the audience if you want to maintain privacy. However, you can't post videos using your Facebook mobile page.

Use the Facebook app on mobile devices

Record a new video to post on Facebook. You can record a new video now instead of selecting an existing video. The implementation process will be somewhat different on iOS and Android:

iOS - Tap the Camera button in a Facebook post, then tap Camera again in the upper left corner of your Camera Roll. Tap the Video Camera button in the lower right corner, then tap the record button to start recording video. When you're done recording, you'll tap "Use" to add it to your post.

Android - Tap the Camera button in the article, then tap the Video Camera button with the "+" sign at the top of the screen.

All videos you upload to Facebook are posted to your News Feed. There's no way to upload a video without "posting it," even if you're the only one who can see the video.

Long videos will take longer to upload and need to be processed even longer. Make sure you have a good internet connection before uploading a large video file.

Troubleshoot

Make sure your video doesn't exceed the maximum capacity. Facebook only allows you to upload videos with a maximum capacity of 4GB and a maximum duration of 120 minutes. Make sure your video meets these requirements if you can't post it.

Make sure the video is in the right format. Facebook accepts most popular video formats, such as AVI, MOV, MP4, and MKV. If your video doesn't have one of the above formats, you can't post it. Converting the video to the appropriate format will fix this problem. You should learn how to convert a video's format so you know how to do it.
