Focus – Embedded video won’t scale for Facebook browser

I have the pro version of Focus. The site is responsive and works great in most mobile browsers. I recently discovered that it is not scaling the embedded videos correctly when viewed in the built in browser on the Facebook mobile app. nearly 100% of my traffic is in that browser so this is a big problem.

I have tried using some plugins that say they will make my video embeds responsive, but once I do that I can’t view my pages at all through the Facebook browser. I have removed the plugins tried and still can’t get the post pages to display in the Facebook browser.

In order to troubleshoot this you would have to view it through the Facebook app for iOS or Android,

One of the posts I’m talking about is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1644127262514586&id=1643902392537073

It goes to http://shortfilmhq.com/2015/12/digits/ which displays fine in safari, chrome, firefox, pretty much everything I test it in mobile wise. It’s just the Facebook browser that doesn’t work.

    Here is an album with the view of the website from the Facebook browser vs Safari. This was done on an iPhone 6S Plus. I have recreated the issue on 3 models of iPhones and 2 models of Android phones. http://imgur.com/a/Am7oJ

    Hi Abecker

    Thanks for letting us know about the issue. I’ve sent it off to our team for testing. If we’re able to recreate the issue, we’ll log it and try fix it. If not, we’ll probably come back with some more questions.
