    When I try to embed my videos into my Facebook page all I get is a Vimeo link. Why isn't the video player visible? I'm following all the right steps. It seems to work fine for everyone else.

    how did you embed your videos? if you haven't done so, can you try sharing the video (via the "share" button inside the video player) and see if that works?

    I have the same problem--I don't even get a thumbnail, just a link. And yes, I tried clicking on the share button inside the video player.

    hello sarah. i've just tried this with one of my own videos and it worked. sometimes the facebook api can cause problems. can you post the url of the video you were trying to share on facebook?

    Whoa, I just tried it again, and it worked this time! Thanks for looking into this, Soxiam.

    I think I am having a similar problem...using the SHARE button, the video is linked to Facebook, but the video player displays the message "Sorry, the creator of this video has not given you permission to embed it on this domain"

    In the settings area for this video the box for "Allow people to embed this video in HD" is checked, and in the domains box I have listed facebook.com.

    The video is vimeo.com/7851447
