It is not a product screenshot, account test, or performance result.* ## Prepare a final, rights-cleared video **Answer:** Before opening Facebook, confirm that the video and every component are approved for the account and audience where you will publish. Check the final export, audio, captions, visual legibility, and destination. Confirm rights to footage, music, photographs, and people shown. A clip found online is not automatically cleared for reuse, and a track available on one platform may not be licensed on Facebook. Ask the rights owner when permissions are unclear. Decide whether the post belongs on a personal profile or a Page. The audience, access roles, available publishing tools, and analytics can differ. If posting for an organization, use its approved Page permissions rather than a personal account workaround. - Check file, rights, captions, and destination before upload. - Choose the correct profile or Page. - Use authorized Page access and reviewer approvals. ## Use the current Facebook composer **Answer:** Facebook Help describes adding a video through the post composer; labels and controls may vary by device and account. Meta's Help Center describes sharing a post from Feed by choosing the post composer, selecting Photo/Video, adding media, setting an audience, and posting. Use the current instructions for your device and the account you manage. A Page workflow may expose different scheduling, audience, or role controls than a personal profile. This guide does not promise that all accounts see an identical composer. Select the video from an approved location and wait for processing or upload to complete. Add context that tells viewers what the video covers. Check audience visibility carefully before posting; selecting the wrong audience can publish information more broadly or narrowly than intended. - Follow current official steps for the device and account type. - Check audience visibility before final submission. - Wait for upload and processing rather than retrying blindly. ## Write a caption and accessibility details **Answer:** Give the video a clear context and make important spoken information accessible with captions where appropriate. Use a concise description that accurately represents the footage and states what viewers should do next. Avoid unsupported claims, misleading thumbnails, or an offer that is no longer available. If the video is part of a paid partnership or includes a regulated claim, apply the required disclosures and review the current Facebook policy. Facebook Help documents caption support for uploaded videos using an SRT file in certain workflows, including editing an uploaded video and adding captions. Exact capability can differ by post type and interface. Prepare a checked caption file, synchronize it with speech, and review names and numbers. Automatic captions can contain errors and should be checked when accuracy matters. - Use accurate context, disclosures, and destination. - Review caption timing and text. - Use current help for caption controls and supported formats. ## Review the post before publishing **Answer:** Check the account, audience, media preview, caption, and any tags or destination before confirming the post. Preview the video at a practical size and listen to the beginning and end. Confirm there is no accidental black frame, cut-off sentence, private detail, or missing disclosure. Check that the selected profile or Page and audience selector are correct. If the media or caption changed after review, send the new version through approval again. For time-sensitive posts, verify dates, locations, and event links against the responsible owner. A correct video published with an expired offer or wrong event date is still a bad outcome. Keep the approved export and final caption together so that the live result can be checked against the right version. - Preview media and read the full caption. - Verify author identity and audience. - Reapprove material changes before posting. ## Publish and distinguish upload from availability **Answer:** Submit the post only after the platform shows the intended account and audience; then wait for the post to become viewable. Facebook's exact processing status and video presentation can differ. An upload progress state or confirmation message is not a substitute for opening the actual post. If the composer allows you to schedule rather than publish immediately, check the scheduled time and use the separate scheduling workflow. Do not assume a video is public just because the file has been selected. If an upload seems stalled, check the Page or profile for an existing post before retrying to avoid duplicates. Record any error and use Meta's current help or support. A post can be restricted by account or content status, so verify the public view rather than assuming every upload becomes available. - Wait for a clear confirmation and inspect the post. - Check for an existing post before a retry. - Use current help for processing or visibility errors. ## Verify the public video and handle corrections **Answer:** Open the public post after publishing and compare its content, visibility, captions, and link path with the approved version. Check the account attribution, title or caption, playback, sound, captions, audience visibility, and any destination. Copy the post URL and record when it was checked. If the video is missing or incorrect, use the account's current editing or removal controls and determine whether a duplicate exists before reposting. A post's view count does not establish that viewers understood it or completed the intended action. If measuring a campaign, use a reliable link or event tracking setup and report what was actually observed. Do not invent view or engagement results or attribute a conversion to Facebook without evidence. - Save the public URL and observed state. - Check audience settings and accessibility after processing. - Separate publication from campaign attribution. ## Keep permissions and product claims precise **Answer:** Use authorized Facebook roles and do not describe FluxGravity as a publisher unless current capability has been verified. For a team, record who owns the Page, who approved the creative, who submitted it, and who will verify the public result. Do not put account passwords or access tokens in a content spreadsheet. If the Page role is insufficient, ask its admin to perform or authorize the action through approved controls. FluxGravity may help prepare copy from supplied facts, but no Facebook connection, file upload, Page permission, or publishing workflow was tested.

This guide represents no customer posting outcome. - Keep account access within authorized roles. - Track approval and live verification separately. - No FluxGravity publishing action was tested. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I post a video on Facebook?
