Why do I see the Vidyard 404 error on Facebook when I try to share my player?

Overview

You are able to share Vidyard videos to your Facebook feed. If you decide to not use the Sharing button on the Vidyard player, you can also copy the URL of the sharing page and paste it into the Facebook "Write a post" box to do so.

Symptom

When you paste the sharing page URL into Facebook, the thumbnail image shows a Vidyard 404 error message and not the player splashscreen.

Cause

You're attempting to share an http version of the sharing page, which is not secure.

Solution

Change "http" to "https" within the "Write a post" textbox in Facebook, then reattempt the post. The player splashscreen and its metadata should now appear in the window.
