How to Share Facebook Videos on Snapchat Stories

Snapchat and Facebook are two popular social media platforms that offer different forms of content sharing. While Facebook focuses more on sharing videos and posts with friends and a wider audience, Snapchat is known for its short-lived stories and disappearing content. However, if you come across a great video on Facebook that you want to share on your Snapchat story, there are a few ways to do it. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of sharing Facebook videos on Snapchat stories.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  1. A smartphone with both Facebook and Snapchat installed.
  2. Active accounts on both platforms.

Steps to Share Facebook Videos on Snapchat Stories

Follow these steps to share Facebook videos on Snapchat stories:

  1. Find the Facebook video you want to share: Open the Facebook app on your smartphone and navigate to the video you want to share. You can find videos in your news feed, a Facebook page, or from a friend's profile.

  2. Copy the video link: Tap the three dots on the upper-right corner of the Facebook video post. From the options, select "Copy link." The link to the video will now be copied to your clipboard.

  3. Open Snapchat: Switch to the Snapchat app on your smartphone.

  4. Create a new Snap: Tap the "Capture" button at the bottom-center of the Snapchat camera screen to create a new snap.

  5. Add a link to your Snap: In the toolbar on the right side of the screen, tap the paperclip icon to bring up the "Attach a website" menu.

  6. Paste the URL: In the text field, long press and then select "Paste" to insert the Facebook video link you copied earlier.

  7. Attach the video: Snapchat will automatically fetch the video thumbnail and title. Review the preview and tap the "Attach to Snap" button to add the Facebook video to your Snap.

  8. Customize your Snap: Add filters, text, stickers, or any other Snapchat features you want to include in your story. Once you are satisfied with the edits, tap the blue send button at the bottom-right of the screen.

  9. Select the audience: On the next screen, choose whether you want to send the Snap to specific friends or add it to your Snapchat story for all your followers to see.

  10. Share your Snap: Tap the blue send button again to share your Snap with your desired audience.

That's it! You have successfully shared a Facebook video on your Snapchat story. Your Snapchat friends or followers will now be able to view the video by tapping on the Snap in their Snapchat feed.

Note: When someone taps on the video in your Snapchat story, they will be redirected to the original video on Facebook in their web browser. This way, you are sharing a preview of the video rather than directly embedding it within Snapchat.

Conclusion

Even though Snapchat and Facebook are separate platforms, you can still share Facebook videos on Snapchat stories by following the simple steps outlined in this tutorial. With this knowledge, you can easily share interesting or captivating videos from your Facebook feed with your Snapchat audience.
