Trick To Play/Watch Facebook Videos On Android Phones And Tablets
Trick 1 : By Using Mozilla Firefox For Android
Before following the below mentioned steps do one thing that login into your facebook account from a computer and put a youtube video link on your timeline and do not remove the preview.You will play this video in your android tablet on facebook,you can play any video but I want to show you the proof that's why I am asking to put a video to your timeline.It will look like as follows.
- Download and install firefox for android from the link given above.
- Download and install the respective flash player apk for your phone.
- Make sure that you have enabled the data connection on your phone.
- Now open firefox and goto "facebook.com" by simply putting the address in the address bar.
- Wait for few seconds till the page loads to facebook homepage.
- Now click the menu button of your phone and select "More>Request desktop site".Put a check mark on it.The page will auto reload,do not stop it.
- After few seconds you will see the desktop version of facebook on your android tablet.
- Now login to your account from your android tablet.Just click on the video you recently posted on your timeline.
- You will see that the video will play on facebook itself and won't take you to third party websites for watching.You can see the proof below the same video is playing on my android phone in mozilla firefox.
Trick 2 : For Any Other Android Browser
- For other browsers you can load facebook in desktop mode by entering this address "http://www.facebook.com/?m2w" in the browser's address bar.
- ?m2w after "http://www.facebook.com/" will tell the browser to load facebook in desktop mode on your android tablet.
- Now login in to your account and repeat the steps in Trick 1.
- But this trick is not as useful as Trick 1 because most android browsers doesn't support the flash plugin fully as compared to mozilla firefox.
- So to play facebook videos on android phones and tablets,you should use firefox browser,because it will work without any problem and I have shown you the proof of facebook videos playing on android devices.
This trick works on a simple principle that "make facebook think that you are accessing it from a computer and not an android device".But actually we are accessing it from android,which it doesn't know and loads the desktop version on our tablets and phones.For this trick we used "Request desktop site" option of firefox browser and for other browsers put a "?m2w" string after facebook address.So facebook thinks that we are accessing it from a computer that's why we are able to play/watch videos on facebook.
