Upload Youtube Video to Facebook

However, posting the YT video URL to Facebook doesn’t let users watch it in their feed. So to stop users from leaving the site and instead watching the video on Youtube, you have to upload a video directly to Facebook. Here’s how you can do this:

  • First, copy the Youtube video link and install it. (you cannot perform this task on a Smartphone)
  • Remember that Facebook only permits up to 1.75 gigabytes and 45 minutes in length video; if your video is longer, it won’t be uploaded.
  • Now, open any online video editing tool; it will let you edit, filter or animate videos. (we suggest you use Filmora video editor).
  • Once you edit the video, download the file and save it to your system.
  • Navigate to your Facebook account, make a post > and upload the recently downloaded video.
  • Write ant caption or description of the video, and tap “post.”
