There's a much easier and simpler way to do this. Once you paste the video link into a Facebook post, you can delete the 'preview' by clicking the little x in the corner of the automated thumbnail that appears, and replace it by uploading the still image custom thumbnail you've created for the video. Then your followers will just click the link which will open the video in TH-cam.
Many many thanks for your suggestion. This was the mistake i have been doing since a year and i realised something was wrong since the views were not adding up. God bless you
I've heard about this before - that TH-cam doesn't count views on videos with links right in the post (not good for monetized channels!). Thanks for the reminder. This stinks, though, for trying to use something like Hootsuite to schedule posts. You asked how we're going to use this.... The uptick in views has already started! The US Thanksgiving holiday starts it off and it goes until Christmas Day. (Some newer channel creators might not know this!) For some odd reason, the views/watch time drop between Christmas and New Year's Day (when I think it should still be high!) I've been telling newer channel creators to promote at least 1 video per day on their social media accounts between now and Christmas to "catch the wave" of the high amount of viewing people do worldwide at this time of the year! Thanks, David!
Hey, thanks for this - I have been going mad because I have a Facebook group with 100,000 members and the links I posted produced NO views on my TH-cam videos!! I knew there would be something stopping the magic happening but now I’m going to try this! Thanks again
Way too much work. Once you upload your thumbnail, you can paste your link into the description box and your thumbnail will not be replaced with an embedded video. I do that all the time.
Problem is, Facebook can tell if the post contains a youtube link and won't deliver the post to your followers as much as it doesn't want them leaving the platform. This method stops that :)
Hi David, out of curiosity, have you seen a significant difference in reach between 1) attaching thumbnail with link in the post vs 2) what you've shown here. I have always wondered if putting the link in a photo post affects organic reach. Also, it seems to be that Facebook is smart enough to adjust for this tactic (whether they have already or not), and will start decreasing reach when posters comment right away with a link. Thoughts?
I think I see where David was coming from - and it does seem too much work and kind of burying the Short URL link beneath. I think the issue was when you put the whole thing with the Short URL immediately, it plucks up the image automatically from that which is horribly cropped. But in this event one can use the x to delete that cropped horrid image, and just upload your thumbnail image - and it will be nice again, and be more engaging as it is a picture post. I think David is using the abbreviated version now checking his wall on facebook. I think one of the good things about this is that I suspect it might grow the wall more organically because pictures probably are still King for organic engagement. So even on boosted posts, I suspect the picture method is better for Wall growth. Also of course, Google tracking is important to track where people are coming from etc. Cheers David and all. I am experimenting with this change right now.
This might help me hate Facebook less. I have been experimenting and it seems FaceBook does not want you to link your TH-cam videos because those posts are always my least shared or seen on Facebook. But if I post a video directly to Facebook - it reaches 100x more people if not 1000x. Just haven't figured out how to monetize videos on Facebook which goes back to the problem of why even bother with Facebook.
Sir , I used to put links in groups on facebook the admin too agreed but soon the video link post vanished, and this is now happening everwhere what should i do, will this trick work ?
Adri Lindis Hace 1 segundo I agree... FB will block it to your friends or followers any external link, (and I think it is worst if it is from other social media competitors, that Zuckerberg is selfish, veeeeery selfish) so writting the link in a comment is the best way. Now will just have to expect that our viewers open the comment section :p
Thank you very much. I had heard that Facebook doesn't show your post to much of anyone if you've posted a link to TH-cam. This will help get around that annoying system.
After the LSY Workshop I just put the shortened link in the comments with a photo instead of embedding it onto Facebook. I've just added photos with the links of what I've posted since then after watching this. Not sure if the preview link in the comments do count. I click through to a new tab and the views are counted.
Hi, just wish to ask, is this still the same in 2018? Now, I begin to understand why my views on TH-cam are so much lower than those of my link in the opening posts on FB. Do you copy the Thumbnails from TH-cam too? Thank you for the useful information.
Hi David , I just did a little test with a video that only had 2 views all day on my channel, it seems you can do it exactly how you said with a pic but you can put the shortened URL in the main post instead of comments and it registers as a view on TH-cam. That's also easier for sharing to other Facebook groups, Marc
After I've posted a yt video to facebook, I then share to a load of fb groups. If I follow the method described above for my initial post, do I have to repeat it for every share to a fb group, or does the first share to my own page take care of it?
Hi David, I would like to ask if it is ok to have links to instagram under the description of a fb video/post? would it affect the views like how having a TH-cam link does?
In TH-cam Analytics, there is the "Playback locations" tab, and one of the categories there is "Embedded in external websites and apps." When I click on that, there seem to be views counted for video playback in Facebook. Am I not understanding something here?
Also when I post a link onto youtube directly it shows a direct link above the video that if clicked on redirects the viewer onto youtube. isnt that enough? THANKS FOR REPLYING
SO GOOD Thank you SO MUCH.... i get so many views when i post the video to facebook but goes nowhere to build my channel. going to try this. Your brilliant thanks
Am uploading my entire video in TH-cam and as well as in facebook. I want to get immediate attraction from my facebook reach and long term results through TH-cam. How better can I look to solve this? Am I doing any mistakes, david walsh?
Great advice David! I just started using a thumbnail and putting the link in the main post, but this step further is even better. Makes sense. Thanks. Wish I'd known this back at episode 1!!
Hi David great video, if I was doing it the wrong way is there a way to fix the problem without uploading another video, or should I delete the video, loosing all the views and comments as well? What can I do? Thanks very much
I think This Might Help Cause I Keep Getting Blocked By There Community Standards Because I Post With My TH-cam Video Link and The Thumbnail!...Pls Reply if this will help me dont get blocked again
what if you use the link of youtube itself, I mean when I upload a clip on youtube, you can chose several links to share, I use the facebook link so the clip will be shown on facebook by youtube when people click in facebook on the clip will it count as a view on youtube or not??
I have few questions: 1) how it will increase the views on YT? 2) how about the likes or shares which we will be getting on FB, will they be of any advantage for our YT video?
Thanks so much David. I was wondering about this. Many folks recommend posting a short teaser video on Facebook and then telling folks to click on link to go to full version. Have you ever tired this? What is your opinion about this option? Just curious. What you are recommending in this video is much easier.
Yep I was doing it wrong... Glad you showed us this. I wish Google/FB/microsoft would all learn how to play nice with each other... Thanks for showing us this.
I do slightly different, as I use a shortened link service for my embedded code, which I place on facebook post. I do this since the link is so long. The code is also placed several skipped lines below my post so it does not show unless you stroll down. The views count as art of those embedded on different site. I also have my post automatically uploaded to my twitter which keeps the code and receive even more views. Additionally, I have a service that automatically post to my facebook accounts. Making life much easier.
David ,I tried this and it worked well. But in one of my posts , the youtube URL created its own thumbnail.The same thumbnail as found on youtube .Then in another post , using the same process and url , I got not thumbnail. Any idea on how to control that ? Thanks
Thanks for this really useful video! I was wondering why my posts with just text were getting more views than my posts with links. It all makes sense now... Even if TH-cam counts some of the views on Facebook, there's a less chance people on Facebook will see it as it favours text and photo posts. I'm sure you know that (or even said that!), but I'm just learning this type of thing!
I've been inserting my videos into blog posts on my website then sharing the link to that page on Facebook, using the video thumbnail image. Is that good as well, or will those views not count either?
Hi...Thanks this seems very helpful and confirms my suspicions that I am just.not.visible to people on my FB. I tried posting the link as you said but still not much different yet (still watching!)...Do you think FB has caught on to this and is now blocking posts with URLs in comments as well? PLEASE UPDATE!!! Thanks again for an awesome channel. I found it this morning and I have been watching nothing else!
I didn't know about that link shortener... but putting in a link like that makes it look like "fake google". I would be very hasitant to push a link like that.
I agree... but David is right with this technique, because even if you can write the link (wether google or youtube link) on the description post, FB will block it to your friends or followers, since it detects that is an external link (and I think it is much worst if it is from its social media competitors, that Zuckerberg is selfish, veeeeery selfish) so writting the link in a comment is the best way. Now will just have to expect that our viewers open the comment section :p
maybe they fixed it because i can press the share button on the video itself, post to fb, and it shows with description on the right and the thumb nail attached on the left. click on it and it goes straight to youtube player
Tried that url shortener link today, it no longer works, since I think March of this year it was discontinued. Would you do a video on an alternative program. Thanks.
I think putting the link in the comments make it extra work for people to see the video. I don’t even like it that it doesn’t start playing, but to go to the comments is one extra step
Is this still relevant today in 2020 as this was filmed 4 years ago? If it is, its a revelation to me and glad I found this quite early on in my new channel so thanks, this will hopefully boost my watched time and viewings.
Hey David, I get all of this, thank you, makes sense! However... I am with the guy who asked below... What happens if someone shares your post?? The comment wouldnt be there with the link in... they would just be sharing a photo...
Thank you so SO much - I'm using this to try to bring traffic to my live master classes. Congratulations on all your great work, it has helped me so much!!
It's clever being that Facebook's algorithm wants to keep people on Facebook. My main issue is getting people to see the post in the first place. So it may be a workaround actually putting the link as a comment rather than on the initial post. As far as Facebook is concerned it's a native post. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this.
It's easier to just upload a thumbnail and put a description and then the video link in the text box. Plus I tried the google shorten URL and it said it couldn't do it. You need to update this video.
If someone pastes a link to my TH-cam video in their Facebook post, and the Facebook player appears in the post, then you're saying that embedded views don't get counted as views? What about Twitter, Google Plus, or my own homepage?
i'm a new vlogger. do you also suggest that I upload all my youtube videos in facebook as well? I see some vloggers upload their works in fb. is that wiser?
Can't I just upload a screen shot of the TH-cam video.. upload that to Facebook with the link, its fine as the link cant generate a video as the picture is there?
Looks like this little trick is for desktop/laptop only. But in the desktop why do we need to follow all these tricks because direct youtube link in the facebook also opens youtube directly in the new tab in the desktop. Am i not understanding something here? How to implement this trick for mobile as well? because now a days, everyone checks their facebook in mobile and the above trick does not work.
Thank You!!! Perfectly answered my question!! I’ve been scratching my head watching my FB views soar and my TH-cam views stagnate for the same vids. Now I finally see the light and it’s easy peasy! Next - do you have tips on how to make thumbnails? Cheers!!
This is good and working for PC viewers for having subscribes. But mobile viewers will not be redirected to the TH-cam app and only able to subscribe if they sign in Facebook browser. How to fix it???
Hi David, I am Biju from Bangalore, India.Thanks for this nice information. However I have a clarification from your end. My doubt is, shall i boost my fb video after publishing?
Hi David, thanks for the useful info. Linking to a blog post containing our video should be fine, right? Whenever I make a video, I also put up a blog post with the same name where I embed that video and transcribe it. Although the viewer has an additional step (click on the post then click on the video), it will be counted as a view and they are on our website where we have the liberty to do whatever we want (optins, popus...).
hello, i just linked by mistake a link with a video from youtube to a wrong photo album, how can I undone this or how can i change to link the youtube link video to correct album?
Facebook has changed and a TH-cam or Vevo video will no longer play in Facebook when posted or shared since about November 2017. Rather, a video post or share will now take you directly to TH-cam.
In 2019 the question is: How do we get a TH-cam link on Facebook to open directly in the TH-cam mobile app, and *not* the TH-cam mobile web site in the Facebook web browser???? This is critical.
Great video. I'm new to TH-cam and I'm manually adjusting subtitles which takes hours. What are you using to get subtitles on your video? Thanks in advance.
I have been thinking about using trailers on FB to get viewers to my TH-cam channel. Do you think it could be viable to post a short teaser to Facebook so it plays in the newsfeed and then direct viewers to YT from there?
Hi, do you get views on Google Plus, when you're pushing out a youtube video it links my video to my Google plus, but when people watch my video in google plus wood I get the views??
Yeah, it is good for PC viewers. But mobile viewers will not be redirected to the TH-cam app and only able to subscribe if they sign in Facebook browser. How to fix it???
Great video! Question.. does this technique works also for Instagram? The shortened link for a youtube video on my Instagram bio will enable the count ?
Bible Flock Box I confess this is how I too have been doing it, only I use a bitly link - this way I can rename it something more appropriate to the video
There's a much easier and simpler way to do this. Once you paste the video link into a Facebook post, you can delete the 'preview' by clicking the little x in the corner of the automated thumbnail that appears, and replace it by uploading the still image custom thumbnail you've created for the video. Then your followers will just click the link which will open the video in TH-cam.
Excellent tip, thank you.
What if the page is monetize, will Facebook allow it
Many many thanks for your suggestion. This was the mistake i have been doing since a year and i realised something was wrong since the views were not adding up. God bless you

Thanks, David!
thank you for the content. I can ask the reason why you suggest putting a shorten url versus the whole url? just curious.
I believe so that it doesn't get identified on FB as a TH-cam video. See Geekism's comment above...
Hey, thanks for this - I have been going mad because I have a Facebook group with 100,000 members and the links I posted produced NO views on my TH-cam videos!! I knew there would be something stopping the magic happening but now I’m going to try this! Thanks again

Hi There. A question to ask you. Would your watch time go up as well on TH-cam Channel when u do this
Interesting question, I would like to know too.
Hi, just wish to ask, is this still the same in 2018? Now, I begin to understand why my views on TH-cam are so much lower than those of my link in the opening posts on FB. Do you copy the Thumbnails from TH-cam too? Thank you for the useful information.
Does the original post "rank" higher with only the thumbnail (rather than with the initial text THEN the thumbnail), or does it matter?
I doubt it at first but been doing this way for few videos, it's working so well, thank you so much!
hi nyob zoo
Thank you! I was wondering why NO ONE on my FB page ever sees my TH-cam posts.
David, when I choose the embed link and put this in my blog post, are those views being counted?
Hi David , I just did a little test with a video that only had 2 views all day on my channel, it seems you can do it exactly how you said with a pic but you can put the shortened URL in the main post instead of comments and it registers as a view on TH-cam. That's also easier for sharing to other Facebook groups, Marc
Hi sir, may I ask? How to Autoplay On facebook Profile by TH-cam Video through Shared video ??
Thank you, I'm testing out this right now. Looks a lot better than the way facebook shows when you embed or paste in the link.
After I've posted a yt video to facebook, I then share to a load of fb groups. If I follow the method described above for my initial post, do I have to repeat it for every share to a fb group, or does the first share to my own page take care of it?
Do u have to shorten it?
Hi David, I would like to ask if it is ok to have links to instagram under the description of a fb video/post? would it affect the views like how having a TH-cam link does?
Hey, thanks. Can i download my video thumbnails from youtube?
In TH-cam Analytics, there is the "Playback locations" tab, and one of the categories there is "Embedded in external websites and apps." When I click on that, there seem to be views counted for video playback in Facebook. Am I not understanding something here?
As far as I thought TH-cam ads are shown on Facebook, too, so they should be counted.
Xscape That's exactly what I thought. ✨🤔✨
Also when I post a link onto youtube directly it shows a direct link above the video that if clicked on redirects the viewer onto youtube. isnt that enough? THANKS FOR REPLYING
Jeremy Ng how do get traffic to my youtube
I often see live video on Facebook and when I view it shows exactly a TH-cam. How do people do that? This ways looks great
Thanks David, I've been doing it wrong for ages! Starting to use your 'trick' from now on!
I've a question, on TH-cam I have two videos that go together... is there a way to post them so they can be together?
I want to know its important to make shorten to the youtube video link or i can put the link without shorten?
SO GOOD Thank you SO MUCH.... i get so many views when i post the video to facebook but goes nowhere to build my channel. going to try this. Your brilliant thanks
Thank you! I never realized I was doing it wrong this whole time! Our Facebook videos tend to get more views than our TH-cam ones.
I always put the thumbnail up FIRST than put the link in the description. if its shared, it's always there! and doesn't become embedded.
Am uploading my entire video in TH-cam and as well as in facebook. I want to get immediate attraction from my facebook reach and long term results through TH-cam. How better can I look to solve this? Am I doing any mistakes, david walsh?
I saw some videos on Facebook that is playing and it has a link in the lower-right. Can you make a video tutorial with that?
What is I send a link through Facebook Messenger, do those link views count?
Great advice David! I just started using a thumbnail and putting the link in the main post, but this step further is even better. Makes sense. Thanks. Wish I'd known this back at episode 1!!
Hi Subscribe my channel
Hi David great video, if I was doing it the wrong way is there a way to fix the problem without uploading another video, or should I delete the video, loosing all the views and comments as well? What can I do? Thanks very much
it be great to see a update to this in 2020 as facebook hates share any youtube videos now days
I think This Might Help Cause I Keep Getting Blocked By There Community Standards Because I Post With My TH-cam Video Link and The Thumbnail!...Pls Reply if this will help me dont get blocked again
Just finished a series of vids for my website and want to add them now to a FB biz page. I'm going to check this out. Thanks.
Hey David, does this affect any other embedding such as on my website or LinkedIn accounts?
what if you use the link of youtube itself, I mean when I upload a clip on youtube, you can chose several links to share, I use the facebook link so the clip will be shown on facebook by youtube when people click in facebook on the clip will it count as a view on youtube or not??
Thank you thank you thank you! I've been wracking my brain trying to find away around the YT - Facebook turf war. haha
What is the reason for shortening the URL? Is it because Facebook has some kind of bias against links to TH-cam?
I have few questions: 1) how it will increase the views on YT? 2) how about the likes or shares which we will be getting on FB, will they be of any advantage for our YT video?
Thanks so much David. I was wondering about this. Many folks recommend posting a short teaser video on Facebook and then telling folks to click on link to go to full version.

Yep I was doing it wrong... Glad you showed us this. I wish Google/FB/microsoft would all learn how to play nice with each other... Thanks for showing us this.
I think the count gets increased even though it is viewed on Facebook but the ads are not viewed on TH-cam as far as I have noticed. Is it right?
Thanks David, I will change the way I post my videos on FB 👍 Do you recommend using the TH-cam tab within FB? (connecting your YT account to FB).
Dave if I disable embed link in my video will I myself be unable to post it to face book or will disable apply only to other people ?
Will fb understand that this will link to yt if you are using the shortend url ?
I would like to know this as well....

What do you use to make those clean thumbnails? (mention free and paid)
Hi David I’m about to launch a national song contest here in Ireland... what would you recommend for making it known ... thank you
Hey David, I get all of this, thank you, makes sense! However... I am with the guy who asked below... What happens if someone shares your post?? The comment wouldnt be there with the link in... they would just be sharing a photo...

Anthony Lazaro Music hi hi
THANK YOU!!! GREAT TRICK. EASY TOO!
I tried sir David, but it prompts me ‘unable to create short url’, why sir?
This is good and working for PC viewers for having subscribes. But mobile viewers will not be redirected to the TH-cam app and only able to subscribe if they sign in Facebook browser. How to fix it???
@David, can you please tell me how do I upload a Facebook link in TH-cam ? Sincere regards
Thank you. I will try. I wonder why my Facebook has not given me any benefit and I give it up right away.
Is this up-to-date information i.e. is this what we should still be doing in 2020?
Hi David, I am Biju from Bangalore, India.Thanks for this nice information. However I have a clarification from your end. My doubt is, shall i boost my fb video after publishing?
Hi David, thanks for the useful info.
Linking to a blog post containing our video should be fine, right?
Whenever I make a video, I also put up a blog post with the same name where I embed that video and transcribe it.
Although the viewer has an additional step (click on the post then click on the video), it will be counted as a view and they are on our website where we have the liberty to do whatever we want (optins, popus...).
hello, i just linked by mistake a link with a video from youtube to a wrong photo album, how can I undone this or how can i change to link the youtube link video to correct album?
YOU ARE JUST BRILLIANT DAVID ! keep it up . i got my problem fixed by shortening the URL
Facebook has changed and a TH-cam or Vevo video will no longer play in Facebook when posted or shared since about November 2017. Rather, a video post or share will now take you directly to TH-cam.
thanks, I was beggining to worry that I would loosing revenue by posting my videos on my fan page.
In 2019 the question is: How do we get a TH-cam link on Facebook to open directly in the TH-cam mobile app, and *not* the TH-cam mobile web site in the Facebook web browser???? This is critical.
Wow, I didn't realise the old way never counted! Thanks
Great video. I'm new to TH-cam and I'm manually adjusting subtitles which takes hours. What are you using to get subtitles on your video?
Thanks in advance.
That was then, today it't copy and paste and it does count as a view as it opens in a new tab.
I have been thinking about using trailers on FB to get viewers to my TH-cam channel. Do you think it could be viable to post a short teaser to Facebook so it plays in the newsfeed and then direct viewers to YT from there?
Thanks for your time
It worked great, just did my first one.....TY so much.
Hi, do you get views on Google Plus, when you're pushing out a youtube video it links my video to my Google plus, but when people watch my video in google plus wood I get the views??
created a page with youtube tab but how u can link that page to my main fb page
I'm really struggling with subscribers recently in going to apply this tactic straight away
Yeah, it is good for PC viewers. But mobile viewers will not be redirected to the TH-cam app and only able to subscribe if they sign in Facebook browser. How to fix it???
can you do it for videos posted with a few weeks ?
Great video! Question.. does this technique works also for Instagram? The shortened link for a youtube video on my Instagram bio will enable the count ?
Thanks for the tip! I’ve just started a channel and am trying to figure out how to get it going.
Why is the link in the first comment rather than as accompanying text on the original thumbnail post?
Yes, it does. At least, I've promoted that way many times. However, I use Tiny URL to modify my links.
Bible Flock Box I confess this is how I too have been doing it, only I use a bitly link - this way I can rename it something more appropriate to the video
But changing it to a goo.gl link fixs that doesn't it?
@@DavidWalshOnline but with this u can do it
Thank you for this. How can I live stream simultaneously on both Facebook and TH-cam is that possible?
Restream.io is a worthy tool for streaming multi platform. 😊
