Step-by-Step Guide on How to Post a YouTube Video on Facebook

YouTube is a huge video library, and Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites, so the two often interact with each other when users want to share great videos with their friends and followers. How to post a video on Facebook from YouTube? There are two main methods.

Method 1. Download the YouTube Video and Post It on Facebook

The first method for posting a YouTube video on Facebook is to download it from YouTube and then post it on Facebook. Below is the guide on how to do that.

Step 1. Save the YouTube Video by MiniTool Video Converter

MiniTool Video Converter is one of the best tools to save YouTube videos or long videos. I have already used it many times to save my favorite videos and songs from YouTube in multiple formats, like MP4, MP3, WebM, and WAV. It is free to use and is ad-free. Plus, it has a simple interface that makes it easier for novices to get started.

As a strong YouTube saver, MiniTool Video Converter not only allows you to save videos and music clips, but also playlists, whole channels, Shorts, movies, podcasts, etc., in 4k or even 8k resolutions. Batch downloads of up to 10 videos are easy for MiniTool Video Converter.

However, this step is optional if you are satisfied with your YouTube video. If not, you can use a video editor to enhance the appeal of your video. For those who aren’t accustomed to editing like me, MiniTool MovieMaker is your best choice.

MiniTool MovieMaker is a fantastic video editing software that is available on Windows. It offers a wide range of editing functions, like trimming, cropping, splitting, adjusting playback speed, rotating, reversing, etc. It also has a free resource library, providing a variety of audio, transitions, effects, filters, elements, and motions.

After you end editing, you can export the video in MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, MKV, WebM, MP3, and GIF formats without watermarks and in resolutions as high as 4K.
