Facebook rolls out working embed feature for videos - Daily News & Analysis
The company also announced soon to arrive 360-degree videos in it's native video player.
Facebook has finally patched a long-awaited feature into it's code: embedding videos from the website onto other media. While the feature was originally "somewhat" available, it was quite a task to access. The new design is based off YouTube, allowing for easy embed code grabbing and pasting.
Besides actually being embedded properly now, the Facebook videos appear in a new and fully functional player. As part of the website's push to draw in advertisers, this new feature could really go a long way, not to mention making things much simpler for everyday users.
In addition, Facebook has also announced that it will soon offer 360-degree videos in its new player, allowing users to pan around a video and look in all directions while it's playing. This is pretty cool for PC, but the gem lies in its functionality for VR, specifically, the Facebook-owned Oculus Rift VR headset. The announcement comes close on the heels of Youtube rolling out 360-degree videos. Here's an idea of what the videos coud look like.
