## 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
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.
Click **Embed**. The Embed a Video popup screen appears.
Choose a **Player**.
Copy the **Embed Code** on the **IFRAME** tab.
<br /> <br />
### Add the embed code a Facebook Instant Article
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 />
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.
