Hi. Not sure this is Discourse related… I’ve posted a Facebook video on my forum. A few weeks later, the embedded video won’t be displayed anymore, with a 403 error and this message: “URL signature expired” The direct link still works, here it is: 1.4K views · 39 reactions | Un petit souvenir de mon entrainement et des heures passées sur le terrain à écouter de la musique en jouant avec le ballon. Musique Oxmo Puccino - Toucher l'Horizon. Faut aimer voir rebondir un ballon... :) | Romain Gadiolet Here’s my post: Le sujet des vidéos de mono - #22 par Canapin - Autour d'une roue - Monocycle.info Here’s another facebook video I just posed that works: Le sujet des vidéos de mono - #25 par Canapin - Autour d'une roue - Monocycle.info Any idea what’s going on with the URL signature expired thing, and how I could have the embedded video working?

[image] Canapin: I’ve posted a Facebook video on my forum. A few weeks later, the embedded video won’t be displayed anymore, with a 403 error and this message: “URL signature expired” I’ve had that happen on my forum with a couple of links, but within hours. One link refused to show - other than a pop-up for me to log in or sign up. I don’t use FB myself. The next time I clicked on the link I got the expired URL signature message. One thing I did notice is that when I scrolled down to the user’s post, the video seemed to appear “normally” for a split second, then was greyed out, Some time later I got an “unsupported video mime” error. Here’s what shows on the first link the user posted: [image] When she posted the following link I got the expired URL signature: https://video-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/116666410_322146822242699_3960034854420681283_n.mp4?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=985c63&efg=eyJybHIiOjUzMSwicmxhIjo1MTIsInZlbmNvZGVfdGFnIjoic3ZlX3NkIn0%3D&_nc_ohc=9eR3Bm0BQjgAX9JECJk&rl=531&vabr=295&_nc_ht=video-sjc3-1.xx&oh=95b3101a1253ab3f394e413c05b8a5a6&oe=5F2D2AF4 She ended up just posting the YouTube link to the video and that OneBoxed and worked fine. The YT link:

Hard to say. Can someone post a generally accessible (public) facebook video link here and we can watch what happens after a few days? I don’t have a FB account (or Instagram, or Whatsapp) and will absolutely go to my grave never ever having one, otherwise I’d offer to do it. :wink:

It appears that the video I was talking about requires to be logged into Facebook. Maybe the issue comes from that
