Most of the videos I have been trying to view go right to facebook. Are the suppose to do this or is this glitch? Anyone know :dontknow: Thanks for the headsup :wave:

You should have a video pop up in a new window by itself. Most of them seem to be hosted by youtube.
-
I had problems with the videos for the first time today. They would play through and not go to the next step. I couldn't get to the optional like them on facebook step.
-
Many of the them are hosted by Via.me that requires you to connect to Facebook and allow Via.me to see your Facebook account. Not sure what that really means, but I suspect that Via.me wants to put ads on your Facebook page.
Most sites have a footnote that you must allow Via.Me to access your Facebook account. Not sure why that's not shown in the FC preliminary notes.

Via.me does want access to your facebook account to post stuff on your wall so I would be careful.

Thanks for the headsup. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I didn't like the idea of something being put on my facebook page, so I passed on all those :dontknow:
-
I solved that by creating a FB account only for my online programs like FC and I have it set to private.

That is a good idea. Might have to give it a try.

I have had that problem b4 most videos have a skip step option on the bottom left. The ones that didn't have the options I skipped.
For the videos hosted by via on facebook if have or create a fb account be sure to skip the step that gives via permission to post your responses etc. :wave: :peace:

Thanks for the suggestions because those videos are giving me the blues. :angel11:

I find that just about half of the videos will load on my computer. The rest do not load. Not sure whats wrong, but when I switch my browser more will load and others won't.
-
As of today, about 2-3 videos play and credit well. However, there are 4-5 that play and do not credit.

You can always go delete the post on your wall, and still receive credit for the videos. I do it all the time.

I think the music videos do not credit. I have not gotten credit for any that I have watched. But, you have to let facebook see what you are watching on via me. But you can go and delete later . :wave:

Like a few other posters said, most of the videos that go to facebook are played through "via.me." Like any other facebook app they often ask for permissions for various things, for example making posts on your wall. If you don't want people to view your activity with the app when (or after, i forget which) you "give permission" to the app so you can watch the videos, you can change the settings for it by changing who can "view" that activity. I have it set up on mine so only I can view the activity from it. It really does not affect my facebook at all though. I've never recieved emails or wall posts or ANYTHING from allowing adding the app to my facebook account. So, I'd say its worth the extra pennies for videos! Plus, a lot of the videos hosted through the site are actually kinda good videos! I've seen lots of music videos and some comedy stuff...
Good luck!

Use a different browser, maybe it will work
