Display Facebook VIDEOS On Website

Hi guys! After my post about displaying Facebook photos and events to website, some of you requested this post – how to display Facebook Fan Page Videos to your website or webpage.

This one is useful if you want your Facebook videos to be shown in your website in a synchronized way.

Once you uploaded a video in your fan page, it will be automatically shown to your website too.

The advantages and risks of this is almost the same with what I discussed in my first post related to this one.

DOWNLOAD CODE LIVE DEMO

On the demo, I just uploaded some random videos of mine, taken using my Android phone. Haha!

In this post I’ll show you the code on:

  • How to pull videos from you Facebook Page and display it to your website.
  • We will retrieve just the video’s title, date it was created, the actual video and its description.

We were able to achieve this using the FQL, Facebook PHP SDK. As of this posting, the current PHP SDK version I downloaded is v.3.1.1. And of course, creating a Facebook App so you can have your own AppId and App Secret Id.
