How to add videos to Facebook for crossposting

By U.S. ArmyDecember 30, 2019

To establish a crossposting relationship with another page:
  1. Click Settings at the top of your Facebook Page.
  2. Click Crossposting from the left column menu.
  3. Begin typing the Page's name that you would like to crosspost with and select it from the list as it appears, or type the Facebook URL.

NOTE: The other user's Facebook Page must confirm the relationship by adding your Facebook Page to its crossposting settings. To assist with confirming the relationship, click the button and send the confirmation link to the admin of the other Facebook page.

Once you have set-up your page for crossposting, please send the link to the U.S. Army Digital Media Team.

Once the relationship is established, you can allow crossposting:
  1. Click Share a photo or video at the top of your Facebook Page's timeline.
  2. Click Upload Photos/Video and select a video from your computer.
  3. Click Crossposting, then click the toggle next to the Page's name.
  4. Finish adding details to your post, then select Publish.

To allow another page to crosspost your page's live videos:

You can allow another Page to crosspost your Page's live video without the other Page needing to upload or share it directly. Only live videos created via the Live API are eligible for live crossposting. Live video from a mobile device can't be crossposted.

Other than establishing a crossposting relationship with the other Page, your Page doesn't need to do anything to allow the other Page to crosspost your Page's live video.

Instead, when the other Page establishes or confirms the crossposting relationship, it will need to decide whether to allow your Page to crosspost automatically or with approval from one of its admins or editors.

Keep in mind that each live crosspost is treated as a separate broadcast on each Page. Comments and reactions from your Page's live video won't appear in the other Page's crossposted broadcast, and viewers can't see where the original live video is coming from.
