There are two ways you can share a video:
1) Uploading a video file
2) Sharing a public video link
Continue reading to see how each option is used.
Upload a Video File
When creating a new post:
Select Video as your post type.
Enter a title for your video
Fill in any text in the message portion of this post.
Click the Browse File box. A new window will pop up where you can select the video you want to upload.
Note: With the basic subscription plan, you can upload a video up to 100MB in size. Depending on the file type and quality, 100MB can range from approximately 1-10 minutes in length.
Videos larger than 100MB would require a Pro subscription level.

Click the Create button to save.
Share a public video link
Any video link you share must be public (or if you're using your own Youtube videos, 'unlisted' videos would also be acceptable).
When creating a new post:
Select Video Link as your post type.
Where it askes for the video URL, paste the link to the video you want to share.
Fill in any text in the message portion of this post.
Finish filling out the rest of the required info on this page.
Click the Create button to save.
Note: When a video link publishes, it usually posts a picture preview of that video, overlaid with a Play button.
There are some videos that Facebook just does not display this picture preview for. We recommend testing out your posts in a practice group before using in a party if at all possible, so you can review how those videos are displayed.
