How to Embed Facebook Reels in Blogger with Auto-Play
This guide will show you how to embed a Facebook Reels video in your Blogger post with auto-play functionality.
Note: Facebook doesn't provide an official embed option specifically for Reels like they do for regular videos. However, we can use a workaround to embed Reels content in your Blogger site.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Get Your Facebook Reels Link
Go to Facebook, find the Reels video you want to embed, click on the three dots (•••) and select "Copy link".
2
Convert to Embed Code
Since Facebook doesn't provide direct embed code for Reels, you have two options:
- Option A: Use a third-party service to convert the Reels link to embed code
- Option B: Use the iframe method below (limited functionality)
3
Add the Embed Code to Your Blogger Post
In your Blogger editor, switch to HTML view and paste the code where you want the Reels to appear.
Embed Code for Blogger
Important: Facebook's embed options for Reels are limited. For best results, consider downloading the Reels video (if you have permission) and uploading it directly to your Blogger post or a video hosting service.
Here's the code to embed a Facebook Reels video (works for some Reels):
<!-- Facebook Reels Embed Code for Blogger -->
<div style="text-align: center; margin: 25px 0;">
<iframe
src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/reel/1266950818787374/&autoplay=true&muted=true&width=500"
width="500"
height="880"
style="border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:12px;"
scrolling="no"
frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen="true"
allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share"
allowFullScreen="true">
</iframe>
</div>
<!-- Replace YOUR_REELS_URL with your actual Facebook Reels URL -->
For auto-play to work, the video needs to be muted (as per most browser policies). The autoplay=true and muted=true parameters enable auto-play functionality.
Alternative Method: Download and Upload
If the embed method doesn't work well, you can:
- Download the Facebook Reels video (ensure you have permission)
- Upload it to a video hosting service (like YouTube, Vimeo, or directly to Blogger)
- Use the video hosting service's embed code with auto-play enabled
<!-- Example: Native HTML5 video player with auto-play -->
<div style="max-width: 350px; margin: 0 auto;">
<video width="100%" controls autoplay muted playsinline style="border-radius:12px;">
<source src="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1266950818787374/" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
