I couldn't believe my eyes but a video played inside a FB group. I posted the lightbox link then clicked it myself and expected to be taken out of FB, but - not! Is this - for real? :clap:clap

    Playing ON FB. Too excited, I was.

    I did debug the link on the FB debugger page before posting it, in case that was important.

    Pasted a video link in, waited for it generate, deleted link and typed in some text.
    Worked great, link directly from, "Get a Link" from my gallery.

    Just noticed something very disturbing, the only photo link under share is the lightbox /A link. There is no choice
    of any other size.

    Also now there is no way to post an anonymous link because you don't get the previous full photo size link. :pissed

    Edit: Looks like visitors only get this, LB link. Logged in you get to choose a size with the full photo link.

    Allen, you mean your video embedded into FB also?
    For mine, I typed some narrative in the text field, then pasted the (debugged) link, and posted it all to FB. Video thumbnail is what shows in the FB post, but, when clicked, it plays INSIDE FACEBOOK. THUD.

    Still want SM to verify this is fully fixed and permanent, and not some accident that will be pulled out from under us shortly. lol.

    Direct paste of what was copied from the share link when logged out of my site.
    Worked straight away inside FB.
