Why Both Options?

Sharing your content on YouTube is an effective way to make your content appear on Google search. YouTube is currently the largest video sharing platform and it is where lots of people go in search of great content.

But after publishing your videos on YouTube, sharing the link on Facebook is where the problem lies. It only shows your link with a very unappealing preview of it, and it doesn’t have an auto-play option for it.

Now let’s talk about posting directly on Facebook. When you are uploading videos directly on Facebook, you will have a much better experience. Its organic reach is a lot better. It auto-plays on the news feed and displays a complete image of it across your timeline.

So with these explanations, I believe you now understand why going for both options will be beneficial. It may seem to be time-consuming and stressful, but its benefits cannot be overstated.

Before we go, let’s share some guidelines that will ensure you upload videos properly on Facebook.

Extra Tips

Facebook is very sensitive when it comes to issues relating to licensed content on its platform. If your videos contain licensed elements like music or footage, your videos may be brought down.

Wrapping up

Facebook and YouTube have slightly different audiences. So, when posting content on either of these platforms, you may want to know about the kind of audience you are creating content for.
