Video API

Crosspost a Video

Updated: Apr 17, 2026
This document explains how to use the Video API to publish a video on multiple Pages without uploading the video to each Page. For example, if you have a parent Page with several child Pages, you can upload and publish a video to the parent Page then publish the Video to all child Pages without having to upload the video to each Page.
To crosspost a Video, you must be able to perform to the CREATE task on the Pages and enable the Video to be published to specific Pages. You will need the ID of the Video and the ID’s of the Pages where you want to publish the Video as well as Page access tokens from the Page where the Video was originally published and the Pages where you want to publish.
You can use the API to determine if a Video is already eligible for crossposting or a crossposted video, how to enable crossposting to all Pages managed by your Business Manager, and to get a list of Pages you can crosspost to.
