    Thank you for your very clear and concise instructions. Not all instructions are as detailed as yours.
    Screenshots of each step is always helpful too.
    When sharing a YouTube video to Facebook stories, first saving the video to “Only Me” is such a great idea! I feel like adding as a post, along with a story is redundant. I don’t know why Facebook makes it that way, where it defaults to a video being shared as a post.
    Thank you again!
