Facebook Video for Joomla
The «Facebook Video» module for Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6 helps you add videos from Facebook to your site using Joomla’s module system.
Do you upload your videos to Facebook? Use them on your Joomla 3/4/5/6 website without re-uploading — simply by pasting a link to the video with our “Facebook Video” module.
Description and Purpose
The «Facebook Video» module for Joomla is a Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6 extension that allows you to embed videos from Facebook directly onto your website using our solution. Adding Facebook videos is so simple it requires no programming skills at all. Just go to your Joomla Module Manager, paste the link to the desired video, and publish the module in the template position of your choice. Joomla will handle everything else automatically through the module. The video will be displayed in Facebook’s standard video player, fully embedded and ready to play.
The module offers flexible settings for complete control over video display: you can choose the Facebook SDK language (e.g., Russian or English), set an adaptive or fixed player width, enable autoplay, lazy loading, and captions. All options are intuitive and accessible directly from the Joomla admin interface — no code editing or third-party tools required. Thanks to built-in support for the latest CMS versions (including Joomla 6), the module runs smoothly on both older and newer websites, ensuring security, performance, and compliance with modern web development standards.
The extension is developed by the IWS.BY team with a strong focus on stability and compatibility. It does not rely on third-party libraries and uses only the official Facebook SDK, ensuring reliable performance even after updates to the social network. Users have access to comprehensive documentation with step-by-step instructions, as well as direct technical support from the developer. Whether you need help with initial setup or tackling non-standard scenarios, assistance is always available. Thanks to clean, well-structured code and strict adherence to Joomla coding standards, the module does not slow down your website and integrates seamlessly into any template — ranging from basic layouts to complex commercial designs.

The module generates the code to display video in the player using Facebook’s public SDK. The extension supports all video-related features of the SDK.
No programming skills are required to publish videos on your site. All you need is a link to the Facebook video and a few quick settings. The module handles everything else for you.
The video block design is generated based on Facebook’s native styling. The width can be responsive (100%) or fixed — you can specify it in pixels.
The module allows you to customize the video for your site using additional settings: block language, autoplay after page load, lazy loading, and enabling the description and captions.
Videos are stored on Facebook’s servers, which prevents your website’s database from being overloaded and saves your server space.
The module supports all Joomla module system features. Automatic installation, automatic updates, and cloning are all completed in just a few mouse clicks within a single website.
Managing the module is so simple that it doesn’t require any programming skills. You just need to enter the link to the desired video, adjust the additional settings, and the module will handle everything else on its own.
Publish videos from Facebook on your website with our module in just a few clicks.

How do I install the extension on my site?
Installation takes just a couple of minutes and requires no technical skills. Simply download the module’s installation file, go to the Extension Manager in your Joomla admin panel, upload the archive, and install it. Then, in the Module Manager, create a new instance, paste the link to the desired Facebook video, and publish it in your chosen template position.
Which CMS versions is the module compatible with?
The solution is fully compatible with Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6. It ensures long-term stability for your website.
Do I need to connect the Facebook SDK separately?
No, this is not necessary. The module automatically loads the official SDK when needed. You can manage this option directly in the settings to avoid duplication if the SDK is already loaded by another extension on your site.
Can I control the appearance and behavior?
Of course! The module offers flexible settings: you can choose the player’s interface language (for example, Russian or English), enable autoplay, activate lazy loading to speed up your site, allow fullscreen mode, and even set an exact block width.
Where can I find the documentation and get technical support?
Полная официальная документация с пошаговыми инструкциями доступна на сайте IWS.BY. Если у вас возникнут сложности или вопросы, команда поддержки IWS.BY готова помочь вам в любое время.
Will the video work on mobile devices?
Complete official documentation with step-by-step instructions is available on the IWS.BY website. If you encounter any difficulties or have questions, the IWS.BY support team is ready to assist you at any time.
Do I need a Facebook account or a special API key to use it?
No. The module works with public Facebook videos. You simply need to copy the link to the video (from a Reel, post, or page). No API keys, Facebook Developer app registration, or authorization are required.
Will I receive updates after downloading?
Yes. All users receive free module updates for the entire duration of their license. New versions will automatically appear in your site’s Update Manager, and details about the changes are published in the official changelog.
