Facebook’s Embedded Player Is Broken, Here’s What They Can Fix to Fix It (embed.ly)

Probably one of the most important things overlooked with the embed is responsiveness. Most embeds have width=100% to fit in the outside container, but FB does not do this. Hopefully they'll adopt it.


I find it amusing that Embedly says FB's embedding is "broken" when their platform doesn't tell you which site is embedding your video... talk about fixing.


Happy to try and help here shoot a note over to support@embed.ly. Analytics is definitely an important part of embedding.
