YouTube and Facebook have become two essential social media platforms for our everyday lives. We use Facebook to keep in contact with out friends, family, and to post our thoughts. We use YouTube to watch videos and livestreams. Today we will be talking about how to add YouTube vide to Facebook.

Note: I recommended downloading the apps to either your computer/laptop, mobile device, or tablet. Downloading the apps make your experience much more convenient. Most phones and tablets come automatically with both apps, but, just in case, yours don’t, we will walk you through on how to download both apps to all three devices.

Downloading The YouTube and Facebook App

Make sure you download both the YouTube and Facebook app. This would make the process a lot easier and convenient compared to opening both apps on an internet browser.

Desktop:

  • Go to the App Store on your desktop.
  • In the search field on the App Store type either “YouTube” or “Facebook”.
  • Once either the YouTube or Facebook App pops up you want to click either the “Add” or “Download” button. Once the apps are completely downloaded, they will be saved on your computer where you can access either app without going to an internet browser.

Mobile/Tablet:

  • Go to the App Store on your tablet or mobile device.
  • In the search field on the App Store type either “YouTube” or “Facebook”.
  • Once either the YouTube or Facebook App pops up you want to tap either the “Add” or “Download” button. Once the apps are completely downloaded, they will be saved on your tablet or mobile device where you can access either app without going to an internet browser.

Adding YouTube Videos To Facebook

  • Make sure you have both the YouTube and Facebook app pulled up on either your computer, mobile device, or tablet.
  • Search for the video you want on YouTube and either copy the link from the browser (if you’re on an internet browser) or click the “share” button (if you’re on the app). After you click/tap the “share” button you want to either copy the link or by sharing it directly to the Facebook app.
  • Once the link is pasted in your post box, you will want to click the “share” button in the Facebook app, and this will allow all your friends to see the video you are sharing.
