## Enhancing a Facebook Instant Article with Video

To embed a video and video player into a Facebook Instant Article, you need to get the JWP embed code and add it to a `<figure>` element in the Facebook Instant Article. The following sections explain each task in detail.

<br />

### Get the JWP embed code

  1. From the JWP dashboard <a href="https://dashboard.jwplayer.com/#/content/list"><strong>Media Library</strong></a>, locate and hover over the name of the video you want to embed. Additional video actions appear at the end of the row.

  2. Click **Embed**. The Embed a Video popup screen appears.

  3. Choose a **Player**.

  4. Copy the **Embed Code** on the **IFRAME** tab.

<br /> <br />

### Add the embed code a Facebook Instant Article

  1. Wrap the standard iframe embed code in an HTML `<figure>` element. As per <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/reference/embeds" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, add `class="op-interactive"` to this element.



<br />

  1. If not included in the JWP embed code, specify the width and height of the iframe. Facebook uses these <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/reference/embeds#options" target="_blank">dimensions</a> to determine the aspect ratio and scale the iframe.
