Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 18, 20222 yr Bumping this again as IG videos/reels seem to embed OK but FB reels do not? I get an embed error: The link could not be embedded because an error occurred on www.facebook.com. Edited December 18, 20222 yr by Clover13
December 19, 20222 yr Author Can you embed FB reels on IPS forum topics? Test link: https://www.facebook.com/reel/801821727579213

Yes, and I'd imagine if Instagram embeds work via oEmbed Read, then wouldn't FB videos/reels as well? Or is there something more that needs to be done? There is only the FB app id and secret to configure in the IPS AdminCP, no?
December 19, 20222 yr Author FWIW, the FB GET for the link returns a 200. The IPS call to index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=editor&do=validateLink also returns a 200 with the following response JSON: {"preview":"","title":"","embed":"","errorMessage":"The link could not be embedded because an error occurred on www.facebook.com."}

December 21, 20222 yr Author @Marc Stridgen any chance you can try to embed a FB reel on a test forum and verify it works for you? At least that would rule out something in my FB app's config or the like.

January 11, 20232 yr Any progress on this, we can't get it to embed either and we're looking for a solution.
January 12, 20232 yr Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

January 7, 20241 yr Was a solution to this ever discovered? I've double checked the app id and secret. The app is live in the meta dev console. I'm attempting to embed a NWS forecast post: https://www.facebook.com/NWS/posts/pfbid02ehZWEStRASncKQokdiFD4rRhSP4YnCMTp8q4FNZgX6uDz3B7uPhUwDcrrobwSz4Cl
January 9, 20241 yr The original item is still open. Unfortunately, it does seem facebook keep changing things on their end.
