Connect a Facebook account to Vidyard

Connecting a Facebook account to Vidyard allows you to directly share videos to Pages that you manage.

When you share a video to a company page, the video will play inline natively within Facebook. This means that your viewers can watch the video from directly within their timelines, rather than being sent to a separate browser tab.

With select product plans, you'll also receive view counts from videos shared to Facebook along side the rest of your video analytics in Vidyard. 

Note: It is recommended that you connect to a Facebook account that has administrator or editor permissions on the Pages that you want to share videos to.
