Description & Purpose
The Facebook Video module for Joomla is an extension for Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6 that allows you to seamlessly embed videos from Facebook onto your website. Adding videos to your site is incredibly simple and requires absolutely no programming skills. Just navigate to the Module Manager, paste the link to the desired video, and publish it in your preferred template position. The Joomla CMS and our module will handle the rest automatically, displaying the video in Facebook's native player.
The module offers flexible settings for complete control over how your videos are displayed. You can easily select the Facebook SDK language (e.g., English or Russian), set a responsive or fixed player width, and toggle features like autoplay, lazy loading, and captions. All parameters are highly intuitive and accessible directly within the native Joomla interface—no need to edit code or rely on third-party tools. With built-in support for the latest CMS versions (including Joomla 6), it runs smoothly on both legacy and modern websites, ensuring top-notch security, optimal performance, and full compliance with current web development standards.
This extension is developed by the IWS.BY team with a strong focus on stability and compatibility. It relies on zero third-party libraries and utilizes only the official Facebook SDK, guaranteeing flawless operation even after Facebook updates its platform. Users get access to comprehensive documentation with step-by-step instructions, along with dedicated technical support from the developer. You can always count on our help for initial setup or resolving custom tasks. Thanks to its clean code and strict adherence to Joomla standards, the module is highly optimized, will never slow down your website, and integrates seamlessly into any template.
Key Module Features
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.
