Problems with Video Image displaying in Facebook posts

SOCIAL NETWORKS

I created a wordpress site and uploaded a video to a "page". But when I go to post the page to facebook, the "video" image doesn't populate when I place the link in the facebook status update section. Instead Facebook grabs images from my header and sidebar. I can't really upload an image of the video either, because that creates a 2-step clicking process to get to the website instead of a 1-step.

Anyone else had this issue? Solutions?

I had the same issue few weeks ago. Try to use Facebook Debug Tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

Enter your WP link and click debug --> Refresh your Facebook Page --> Paste the WP URL Again and the video thumbnail should appear.

Thanks

Thanks, I tried that earlier but it didn't seem to work. Was your video in an iframe?

Yes I'm using mp4 with iframe. Try to make it as a youtube link, download any WP plugin for youtube embed.

Try to see this WP forum about this issue maybe it will help: WordPress › Support » video thumbnail via posts not showing in Facebook

Thanks

tried...failed. Think I may need a coder to figure this thing out. Thanks for the suggestions though.
