How to Embed Podcasts in My Facebook Page

You can embed podcasts in Facebook and share them with your friends.

Facebook is a social networking site that allows you to connect and share information with people around the world. In addition to information, videos, Web links and pictures, you can also share podcasts. If you create your own podcast or want to share someone else's, you can embed podcasts in Facebook using certain applications. After you've done this, your Facebook friends are able to listen to and comment on your posting.

Instructions

1. Use PodBean at Podbean.com. Using this website, you can generate a code to place in the Podcast Player Facebook app, which embeds individual podcasts directly into your Facebook page. After you have done this, the app also enables you to send a message to your friends with a direct link to your new podcast. To use this method, you must create a PodBean account and generate a different code for each individual podcast.

2. Install the Podcasts application from Facebook.com. This app embeds podcasts directly into your profile and allows you to post both video and audio clips. Users can then listen to the podcasts using Facebook in their Web browsers (they don't need to have a separate MP3 player installed on their computer) and can share your podcasts with their Facebook friends.

3. Use the MP3 Facebook app from Facebook.com. This allows you to embed MP3 tracks, including podcasts, into your Facebook page. As well as enabling you to share your podcasts, you can track how many times each podcast has been played through Facebook, organize your collection, highlight your top three tracks and let people comment.
