SXSW Interactive: The good, the bad and the BBQ Overlay.TV for Interaction
Mar 26

You can now (finally!) share your Overlays directly to your Facebook account. Well, technically you could always "share" any Overlay on Facebook, but it was just the URL that linked to our site. Now you can share the working player right in Facebook and it do from the player itself. All you have to do is click on the SHARE tab of any Overlay you like and then click on the SHARE TO FACEBOOK link located inside the share window.

You'll be prompted to sign into Facebook and once you do so the Overlay player will appear on your profile page, sans carousel, and in the feeds of any friends that follow you.  See Jane. See Jane's shared Overlay.

The Overlay player in Facebook works like it normally would with all its functionality including, clickable hotspots. You can even start the creation process right in Facebook. It's not perfect yet, but were still working on ways to make the integration better so that you can have the best Overlay experience on Facebook, and anywhere else for that matter. Stay tuned!

  • Very nice posts. I will try to integrate my videos with that. Well i have shared many videos through youtube. It seems a better option then youtube.
  • A great feature, very useful. Will definitely post some in my feeds.
  • This is a great addition to the tool. Any integration and funcitonality
    across platforms can only be good.Can't wait to try it.
