This article will show you how to post a video from your desktop computer or laptop. You&#8217;ll also learn how to include calls to action, create playlists, and post a video as a new release. Here are a few tips to help you get started. If you&#8217;re still having trouble, just keep reading!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_videos_from_desktop_computer_or_laptop\"><\/span>Uploading videos from desktop computer or laptop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have an internet connection and you want to upload videos to Facebook, you may experience some uploading problems. If this happens to you, there are several possible reasons why you may be having trouble. One reason could be a corrupt video or a slow internet connection. Whatever the cause, there are ways to fix this problem. In this article, we&#8217;ll show you a few simple tricks to help you resolve your problem and continue uploading videos to Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>One option is to download the video to your computer. This is similar to downloading videos from Twitter. First, you need to copy the link. You can also download videos from Facebook using third-party websites. Try FB Down or FB Video Downloader to find out more. Alternatively, you can download the videos directly from Facebook&#8217;s website. These methods will enable you to use Facebook videos from your desktop computer or laptop without having to worry about uploading them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_calls_to_action\"><\/span>Adding calls to action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to include a call-to-action button in a Facebook video, there are a few simple steps to follow. Facebook&#8217;s video editor allows you to customize the call-to-action buttons that appear on your video. You can choose from a variety of button types and URLs. There are mobile-specific options too, such as buttons that direct viewers to your site from their mobile devices. Most Facebook page admins just choose the main website URL and skip the unique URL options.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a call-to-action button to your video is also an easy way to capture a viewer&#8217;s attention. Facebook users are more likely to engage with a video that contains a CTA button. A call-to-action button on a Facebook video allows the viewer to click through to the site of their choice and take the next step. In addition to the video&#8217;s description, a call-to-action button can link to an HTML script.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_playlists\"><\/span>Creating playlists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating playlists for your videos on Facebook can be one of the easiest ways to increase your viewers&#8217; engagement and increase the amount of time people spend watching them. Playlists are organized into genres and are useful for a variety of reasons, from attracting viewers&#8217; attention to organizing their favourite videos. You can easily create a playlist by using the Facebook Creator Studio. After you have uploaded the videos, you can add a title and description, and publish it!<\/p>\n<p>A playlist is a grouping of related videos with a common topic. A series is a group of episodes that are more related in content and are related to a specific program. The content of these episodes builds on the previous episodes. Series on Facebook can help creators create trailers or refer to upcoming seasons. If you are creating a series of videos, make sure that you organize them into playlists and publish them in the series format.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_a_video_as_a_new_release\"><\/span>Uploading a video as a new release<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After creating the video, the next step is to add the subtitle file and a description. If desired, you can also disable embedding permissions and customize privacy settings. Note that you cannot change these settings on a mobile device. To make the process easier, the following steps are provided. Follow them carefully. Once you have added all the necessary elements to the video, you can upload it as a new release.<\/p>\n<p>First, check your internet connection. If you can&#8217;t upload the video, it&#8217;s possible that your Internet connection is slow or the video itself is corrupt. It&#8217;s worth trying a different browser or changing the settings on your computer. If all else fails, you can follow the steps outlined below. If you still can&#8217;t upload your video, check your settings and try again. If this doesn&#8217;t work, try changing the quality settings on your video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saving_a_draft_of_a_video\"><\/span>Saving a draft of a video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When saving a video to post on Facebook, you can edit it in several ways. The first way is by dragging and dropping it into the &#8220;Write something about your video&#8221; section. Once you have done that, the video will begin to upload to Facebook. You can also edit the copy that appears alongside your video. You can also save a draft and edit it later. Once you have saved the draft, you can access it under Publishing Tools &gt; Posts&gt;Drafts.<\/p>\n<p>In the iOS app, you can save a draft of a video by tapping the &#8220;Save as draft&#8221; option at the top of the screen. After swiping up to save a draft, the post will appear in your Creator Studio. From there, you can edit the text and choose whether you want to push it live or schedule a future post. You can also backdate your posts, which is helpful for preserving them in case of deletion.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_a_video_as_a_full-length_video\"><\/span>Uploading a video as a full-length video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several things you need to consider before uploading a video to Facebook. First, make sure the format of your video is H.264 with square pixels. It should also be in progressive scan mode with stereo AAC audio compression of 128kbps or more. Facebook can handle videos up to 240 minutes long and 4GB in size. It may take longer to process longer videos.<\/p>\n<p>Once your video is saved in your device&#8217;s gallery, open it up and tap &#8220;Upload.&#8221; You&#8217;ll then be presented with an editing screen. You can add graphics, text, and drawings to your video. If you get an error message that says &#8220;Video is too long,&#8221; you&#8217;ve probably selected an unsupported format. You may want to select &#8220;Camera&#8221; to upload a longer video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Post a Video on Facebook If you have ever wondered how to post a video on Facebook, then you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
