Facebook Videos now playable on iPhone...

[Mobile923]

I dunno how long they've had this available to us iPhone users now... but you can now watch Facebook embedded videos on iPhone!

but it only works in Safari when viewing the Full Desktop version of the site.
Still waiting for the Facebook app to cut to the chase.

hey you right buddy i just tried and really works.... it looks like the video is in quicktime format... that must be because of the ipad...

???

when will we be able to post photos from safari through the app again?

Wow, that's great. I've been wanting this feature for a while now.

works on ipad too.

Doesn't work for me. It just says I need to view the video "on a device that supports Adobe Flash".

Woot!

 

[Vaco Deus]

Hmmm, no go for me

 

[BobRichards]

Good stuff, worked for me on all but one video I tried to watch

Same for me, I'm using the full site, is that what others are using to watch them?

It just opens the YouTube app within the safari. I was hoping it plays it like the iPad

I think that's what was said earlier in the thread. I can't watch them either. tells me to use something with flash player

Nice, still waiting for non youtube videos to work inside the facebook app.

YouTube videos are playable through the app, aren't they? I know I played one through the app just the other day and I think it went through the YouTube interface.

So.. Even though they're videos are in an Apple-supported format, we can't watch them via the Facebook app.

... wtf.

I first came across this post last week however this feature has not worked for me yet. I hope it does cuz it's really annoying when trying to watch videos on facebook from my iPhone.

Facebook is switching videos over to HTML 5:
