What is Video Crossposting on Facebook
You used to have to re-upload your video every time you wanted to add it to another Facebook Page. Now you can upload your video 1 time and “cross-post” to any number of Pages.
Why does that matter?
Let’s face it, larger numbers get more attention. So UPLOADING copies is a problem because you divide up your view count. But CROSSPOSTING shows your audience an aggregate view count. This can help a video gain momentum with each Page posting, rather than start with a view count of zero each time it’s added to a new Page.
For example, if you CROSSPOST a video to 3 Pages on which you get 30k views, 50K views, & 20k views. Your total aggregate view count (100K) will be displayed on the video, no matter which Page it’s being viewed on.
Crossposting also allows managers of both Pages to see analytics for the video, and which posts the views are coming from.
