I have created a script to upload videos to my own page on Facebook, that part works perfectly. But now I want to show the videos on my site, at least a thumbnail. So I searched for how to embed videos on external pages, tried the example but it is not working:

<div  
    class="fb-video" 
    data-href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/" 
    data-width="500" 
    data-allowfullscreen="true"></div>

I also noticed Facebook videos do not have the option to generate embedded code when sharing, so maybe it is not allowed anymore? maybe I can show a thumbnail?.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Firstly, make sure the video you want to embed is public for everybody. Secondly, You must add Facebook SDK to your Html page before embedding the video

  <div id="fb-root"></div>
  <script async defer src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2"></script>

  <!-- Your embedded video player code -->
  <div class="fb-video" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/" data-width="500" data-show-text="false">
    <div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore">

The example and the answer above is correct. My problem was a different one. In order to publish a video in Facebook through API, you need "publish_video" permission, while the app is in "development" mode, it works, but reviewing the video on the player does not work.

If I move the app to "live" mode, I can see the video on the player but I can not upload more videos.

So I need to send my app to review. I hope this helps someone in the future.
