Is it possible to embed a facebook reel on Pelican?

[MBAtarga]

I can't get any methods to work - and I've got one I'd like to share.
I did a search and can't find any applicable instructions.

No. Just post the link. If someone can't see it those are the breaks. Sometimes those same vids are on YT though, which you CAN embed, so worth checking.

Yep, just post the link

I'm not a FB member, but I have looked before.
There are 3 dots at the bottom of the reel and one of the choices is 'embed reel'. I've tried doing that and couldn't get it to work.

Maybe being a member would allow it? I don't know.

From the video, click on the three dots and you'll get a link to embed the video.

Mark- post a link to the video if you don't see the link. You might be able to right-click on the video to bring up the option.

It wouldn't embed

I tried that, and in FF, I don't see anything, but I think I've seen that some folks using Chrome maybe, do see the embedded video.

THere's actually another option within FB that will give you html code. I tried that to see what would happen, and when I hit submit on the post, I immediately got a page from PP that said something like "you are blocked from PP. PP is using security software to ensure that it is not attacked, blah, blah, blah..." I did it twice and the same thing happened both times.

When I use the embed code (which uses "iframe" which is the same thing that YT uses, I get the following)

and this is what Chrome shows for the same post, so it may depend upon the post settings

^^^ I'm using Chrome.
This is what I get....same thing

Can you post the link?

The link just shows a grizzly standing in a field for a few seconds.

All, I got the same error msgs of unavailable - and/or the warnings from Pelican that are shown above.
I'll start a new thread with the posting - with the story behind it.
