Prerequisites

A Pinterest account

Step 1: Find the Video on Facebook

Open your Facebook account and navigate to the video you want to share. You can do this by scrolling through your News Feed or by visiting a specific Facebook page or profile where the video is located.

Step 2: Copy the Facebook Video Link

Once you've found the video, right-click on it and select "Copy video URL." This will copy the link of the Facebook video to your clipboard.

Step 3: Open Pinterest

Open a new browser tab or window and go to the Pinterest website (www.pinterest.com). If you're not already logged in, sign in to your Pinterest account using your credentials.

Step 4: Create a New Pin

On Pinterest, you can save content to boards by creating pins. Click on the "Add" button (represented by a plus icon) located at the top-right corner of your Pinterest homepage. This will open a drop-down menu.

Step 5: Choose the "Save from a website" Option

From the drop-down menu, select the "Save from a website" option. This will open a box where you can paste the link to the Facebook video.

Step 6: Paste the Facebook Video Link

In the box that appears, paste the Facebook video link that you copied earlier. You can do this by right-clicking in the box and selecting "Paste." Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac) to paste the link.

Step 7: Choose a Video Thumbnail

Pinterest will fetch the video from the Facebook link and display thumbnail options to choose from. Select a thumbnail that best represents the video content by clicking on it.

Step 8: Add a Description and Choose a Board

In the next screen, you can add a description to provide additional context for the video. Enter the desired description in the provided text box.

Below the description, select the Pinterest board where you want to save the Facebook video. If you don't have a relevant board, click on the "+ Create board" option to create a new board and give it a name.

Step 9: Choose the Video Category (Optional)

Pinterest allows you to categorize your videos. If you want to assign a category to the Facebook video, click on the "Choose a board" dropdown menu, and then select a relevant category from the available options.

Step 10: Edit Visibility and Publish

By default, your new pin will be visible only to you. If you want to make it public, click on the "Edit" button next to the "Saved to" field. Select "Public" from the options that appear.

Finally, click on the "Save" button to publish your Facebook video as a pin on Pinterest.

Congratulations! You have successfully shared a Facebook video on Pinterest. You can repeat these steps to share more videos from Facebook to your Pinterest boards.
