How to Show a Facebook video

This is the video I want to show.

https://www.facebook.com/OccupyDemocrats/videos/1120975044954943/

It is not available on YouTube.

Is it possible to make it show up in a window so that people don't have to follow the link?

YouTube and Vimeo videos can be embedded here. (And technically Twitter videos by embedding the tweet.)

There used to be a (not so easy) way to do Facebbook videos a few years ago prior to the Admins reducing the amount of html tags users could put in their posts to prevent malicious code being introduced.

You may want to Ask the Administrators to add embedding of Facebook videos as a new feature. If enough people request it, they might just do it.
