Tips for Uploading Full Episodes to Facebook

Managing Distribution Options

Overview

In some cases, you might want to add restrictions to where your video is distributed on Facebook. In order to do this, you select different distribution options for your video including: 1) excluding a video from News; 2) prohibiting embedding on third-party sites; and 3) adding a secret video that is unpublished and non-searchable on Facebook.

By selecting “Exclude from News Feed”, your video will be published only to the Videos tab on your Page. This feature gives you control over the distribution for your back catalog of content. Rather than sending your videos out to News Feed all at once, you can decide to publish in News Feed these videos at a later date.

Secret videos give Page owners the ability to upload videos that are accessible only via a direct URL, but which are not searchable for people on Facebook. This may be useful if you’d like to to host videos on Facebook, embed them on third-party sites, or share them with anyone who has the URL, without posting them anywhere else on Facebook.

Directions

• Follow the instructions above to begin uploading a video.
• Click Advanced
• Select Custom from the dropdown menu under Distribution
• Check either Exclude From News Feed, Prohibit embedding, or Add as secret video to customize your distribution.

A distribution summary is also provided below the options as a guide to where exactly your video will appear on Facebook.
