OK call me a little dumb on this one but I have an annoying problem. Sometimes I use a Samsung tab to take photos and upload photos to a comp if I need to and no problems but the other day I recorded a short video for a facebook comp. I had no end of problems trying to upload to a facebook page. I wrote a comment and hit the photo icon but the video didn't appear on the camera roll even though when I went back in it was sitting in my camera folder. Is there a special way to upload videos to a facebook page? ( video entries were accepted for the comp) This has happened twice now damn it!.

As an alternative could you upload to Youtube and put the video link in the Facebook post? I haven't tried a video file . Also google how to post a video on Facebook. Might look into it later still recovering from cold all week. :(
I had a quick read not sure if you can directly post a video. I could be wrong. Looks like you can upload to your timeline. Make sure it's in a compatible format.
Why can't I post videos as a comment on a post?

@fourleaf lol. I don't know about that. I'm just a sucker for an IT problem. I haven't tried posting videos to facebook. Well expect for youtube video once to Optus help via a link to a unhappy customer. Roy Obinsons "Communication Breakdown". Amazing how quick they got service after that.
I agree a video can stand out and have a bigger impact!
Let us know how you go with attempting to post a video on Facebook for future reference.
I think you may not be able to post a video directly to a comment. Though from a quick read you should be able to upload to your facebook and share or post the link. The only other idea if your clip doesn't involve sound could be to convert to an animated Gif. There should be freely available tools to convert formats.
