The problem with embedded video on Facebook is that it can be shared ONLY on Facebook, as far as I can see. Ilike to share video I find on Facebook accounts that I follow to my Twitter account, and sometimes to Pinterest. Thatcan't be done (again, as far as I can tell) with an embedded video - there's no unique url. Eventually, users who wanttheir content shared will realise this, and return to uploading their videos to youtube and Vimeo.

The internet is filled with uncountable number of videos, I wonder how people are able to select the ones to they wantto listen to. Will embedding videos on Facebook draw more customers to your website?
