Hello, I've been researched a bit on here, but cannot find the answer. When we place videos up on Facebook, they work and play perfectly on the page while viewing them on a computer. When viewing on a mobile device, it sends the user to the 'preview' page (http://content.jwplatform.com/previews/) which can be off putting for viewers.

Can anyone help on this?

Thanks

Hi, there.

Can you please provide a link to the page with the player embedded that you are initiating the share to Facebook on?

Thank you.

Hi, there.

I actually would need the link to where you have the JW Player embedded that you start the sharing process from.

Thanks.

Hi, there.

I’m going to have to escalate this to our Engineering team to see what they say. As soon as I hear back, I will let you know.

Thank you.

Hi there, sorry for the delay in response to your question. This is a known limitation of embedding on facebook and viewing on a mobile device. We have written up a request for engineering to make the preview page mobile responsive, but it is true currently that when viewing from a mobile device, currently it does redirect to the preview page which is not mobile responsive.
