How to Post YouTube Videos on Your Friends' Pages in Facebook

A link taken down on YouTube will no longer play on Facebook.

YouTube videos vary from content uploaded by musicians and movie studios to funny clips added by pet owners. If you see a video clip on the site that one of your Facebook friends would appreciate, add a link to the video to her Facebook wall. Once a YouTube link is posted on a wall, visitors to that profile are able to click on it and view the footage right on Facebook. A click on the video's title redirects viewers to YouTube.

Instructions

1. Click the "Share" icon beneath a YouTube video. Highlight the short link that appears and right-click using your mouse. Select "Copy" from the right-click menu.

2. Point your browser to Facebook and go to a friend's page. Click on the "Link" icon in the "Share" section, located just above her wall.

3. Right-click in the open field and select "Paste." Click the "Attach" icon.

4. Add comments about the video in the "Say something about this link" field. While comments are not required, they help you explain to your friend why you're posting the video or give a review.

5. Click the "Share" link to post the video to your friend's wall.
