facebook-logo-newFacebook announced they are testing a new feature to embed public Facebook posts on your website.

This is similar to the way you can embed tweets, embed instagrams and/or embed vine videos, and now you can embed Facebook posts.

Again, this is being rolled out slowly and is currently only available for Bleacher Report, CNN, Huffington Post, Mashable and PEOPLE Facebook posts.

How To Embed Facebook Posts

Click on the down arrow at the top right of the post and select “Embed Post”:

Then the embed code will appear below, which you can copy and paste into your own website:

Take the code and embed it as you wish on your website, and presto, the Facebook post will show on your site. Users will be able to interact with it as well. For example, they will be able to Like the post, watch the video in the post, see more of the content and much more.

Here is a live example of an embedded Facebook post:
