If you're finding your video link posts seem to always fail (when your other non-video posts are successful), here are some things you can try.

Note: Facebook is occasionally glitchy with video links, for no definable reason.

So if the following tips don't help, there could be a legitimate Facebook bug preventing the video link from being posted properly.


Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Make sure the link is correct. Click the link to see if it opens correctly, or copy and paste into another browser. Remember, even a space in the URL would make it incorrect.

  • Make sure the source is a public video. Private or personal videos will not share properly.

  • Try putting the link in a Website Link Post.

  • Try putting the link in the message portion of the post. This might not display a picture preview, but the video link will be active and clickable when it posts.
    ​ 

  • Test your posts by posting to an empty test group, to see if your post will be successful, and to see how it will look in the group.

If you still have trouble, please reach out to us via the Help icon in lower corner of your PostMyParty account. Explain the problems you’re having and what you have already tried. Be sure to send us the link you are wanting to use and where you want it to post.
