How To Watch ViewSync Videos From Facebook Posts

Some of you have mentioned that you can only see one video when you click on the ViewSync links in Facebook posts (like this awesome example post - Great job Pat!). 

Here is how to fix that (90 sec):


Basically, if you are trying to view ViewSync videos posted in the FB group, copy/paste the "text URL" instead of clicking on it so you can see both videos, instead of just one. 

Note: Be sure not to copy the hyperlinked URL (more details in the "Important Copy/Paste Tip" section below).

Why is this necessary?

For some reason, Facebook is including a slightly inaccurate hyperlink to the original link that is deleting one of the videos from ViewSync when you click on the hyperlink, but it works just fine if you copy/paste the link URL into a new browser tab (video below shows what I mean). Hopefully, Facebook will fix this but until then, just copy/paste to view both videos.

One Exception

On mobile devices, clicking on the auto-generated image link (the blue, orange & white boxes) seems to work too, but only on mobile.


Important Copy/Paste Tip

If you right click on the text link, be sure to select "copy" and *not* "copy link address" as the latter would still copy the inaccurate URL whereas "copy" will just copy the text that is highlighted when you right click on it.
