ozRocker Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I have searched everywhere and I can't find an answer to this. I'm trying to find out how you get content with a webGL canvas embedded automatically when posting up a website. An example is this link here: https://sketchfab.com/models/1913063b18df42c4acbfca7e5ecab779 If I post that up on Facebook, users can click on it and spin the 3D model around within their timeline. It was only recent that Sketchfab was able to do this so I'm not sure if its a coding trick or some kind of arrangement made with Facebook to allow it. I'd really like users to view 3D content within their Facebook timeline, without having to open up a new website tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorasso Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I was interested in this some time ago too and from what I have found you can't. It is not that Sketchfab used some Facebook's features to embed their content into Facebook post, but Facebook add a feature to show Sketchfab scenes like you can see in users' posts. Some time ago there was something like Games Feed (if I remember the name correctly). You could embed Flash content in very similar way. But also not possible anymore.

Sebavan Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 You need company agreement with them to expose your content as it could be a potential security issue. Html5 Games is now available as a preview on Facebook so I guess this could be the easy place to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen how it works as a URL written within a post. Still cool though, definitely something the babylon.js community can take advantage of. I'm trying to find out how one gets a company agreement with Facebook to enable automatic embedding and if there is a cost to it. Sketchfab have done it, so its definitely possible. Its very hard to contact Facebook directly. They don't have an e-mail address or phone number that I can just call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebavan Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Yep but is the only way so far... it is only B to B and I do not have any contact there for this I could forward to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
