In the past, when I shared a YouTube link, it was showing as embedded content. Which allowed the user to watch the video from within Facebook.
Now, when I share a YouTube link it doesn't embed it anymore (only in comments).
Is there anyway to share the YouTube video as embedded content on Facebook?
I checked this question and the suggested solution is similar to what I used to do before – but it's 7 years old, so it makes sense that a lot has changed since then.

Facebook changed its behavior, and it's no longer possible - all links, including videos, will be opened externally, to mirror the mobile experience.
