Snapchat and Facebook are two popular social media platforms that offer different features and benefits to their users. Sharing Facebook videos on Snapchat can help you share interesting and entertaining content with your Snapchat friends. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to share Facebook videos on Snapchat.

Prerequisites

  • An active Facebook account
  • An active Snapchat account
  • A smartphone or tablet with the Facebook and Snapchat apps installed

Steps to Share Facebook Videos on Snapchat

Step 1: Find the Facebook Video

  1. Open the Facebook app on your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Log in to your Facebook account if you are not already logged in.
  3. Navigate to the video you want to share on Snapchat. You can browse your News Feed, search for the video, or visit a specific Facebook page that posted the video.

Step 2: Copy the Video URL

  1. Once you have found the video, tap on it to play.
  2. Tap on the "Share" button, usually represented by an arrow pointing upwards. This button is usually located beneath the video or in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. In the sharing options, look for "Copy Link" or "Copy Video Link" and tap on it. This will copy the video's URL to your device's clipboard.

Step 3: Open Snapchat

  1. Locate the Snapchat app on your smartphone or tablet's home screen and tap on it to open.
  2. Log in to your Snapchat account using your username and password if you are not already logged in.

Step 4: Create a New Snap

  1. On the Snapchat home screen, tap on the capture button at the bottom center of the screen to create a new snap.
  2. You will be presented with different capture modes such as photo, video, or others. Choose the mode that suits your preference.
  3. Capture a photo or video using Snapchat's camera if you want to add a unique touch to the Facebook video you are about to share. This step is optional.

Step 5: Paste the Facebook Video URL into Snapchat

  1. After taking a photo or video (optional), tap on the paperclip icon located at the right side of the screen. This icon represents the Link feature in Snapchat.
  2. In the "Attach a Link" screen, long-press the text box area and select "Paste" when the option appears. This will paste the previously copied Facebook video URL into Snapchat.

Step 6: Preview the Facebook Video Snap

  1. Snapchat will automatically detect the Facebook video and generate a preview for the snap.
  2. The preview will typically display the video's title, a preview image, and the Facebook domain.
  3. Review the preview and make any desired adjustments or additions, such as adding captions, filters, or stickers.

Step 7: Send or Post the Facebook Video Snap

  1. Once you are satisfied with the Facebook video snap, you can either send it directly to specific Snapchat friends or post it to your Snapchat Story for all your friends to see.
  2. To send the snap, tap on the blue send button, usually represented by a paper airplane icon, and select the friends you want to send the snap to.
  3. To post the snap to your Snapchat Story, tap on the "My Story" option instead of selecting specific friends. This will add the Facebook video snap to your Story for the next 24 hours.

Congratulations! You have successfully shared a Facebook video on Snapchat. Your Snapchat friends will now be able to view the video through your snap or story.

Keep in mind that the availability of sharing options and features may vary depending on the Snapchat app version and updates. Make sure you have the latest version of both Facebook and Snapchat apps to access all the features mentioned in this tutorial.

Happy sharing! 📸📱
