We've talked a lot at ReelSEO about Facebook video marketing and video apps, so it was only a matter of time before we combined all the options into one big list. So here you go, our ReelSEO Show Reel of Facebook Video Apps, with a myriad ways you can integrate video into your own Facebook Pages! Driven by a singular goal to corner the market on this info, yet not so driven that we're bothering to do our own review and testing of every Facebook video app out there I've put togethera list of video apps that I think are beneficial for your Facebook video marketing needs.
Our description length for each video app can run from super-short phrase to a long paragraph. The original copy right from their respective Facebook pages is what has been included. I've done my best to create a comprehensive list excluding those that didn't work or had awful reviews – yes, I tested every one of them. Also – I have included some apps that I think you would want to know about but that are not necessarily for Facebook pages and I have indicated those as such.
I've organized the list reverse-alphabetical order (not because I don't believe in some favoritism, but because I simply want to play with your mind) and have broken them down into the following categories:
Facebook Video Apps for YouTube Videos & Channels
The following is a list of Facebook video apps for YouTube that allow for adding YouTube videos and in particular, YouTube Channels to your Facebook page. There are a ton here, but my favorites would be "YouTube Channels" and the North Social apps.
Share YouTube videos. Facebook Page owners can send existing YouTube videos out to all their fans in just a few simple steps.
Display your Youtube videos as a Tab within your Facebook Pages. From Tabfusion.com. There are quite a few negative reviews but enough people using it successfully to mention it. I tested it out and it worked for me.
Best YouTube tab channel and playlist lets Facebook Page admins install a YouTube tab which shows 48 videos from a channel or playlist. You also have the ability to change the background.
Synchronize a YouTube channel. This is the one that we use on the ReelSEO Facebook Page (see pictured above) – under the tab – "YouTube."
Very simple Facebook app from NorthSocial to Display a large single video player that you can embed from YouTube. (Read our review of North Social here)
Embed an entire YouTube channel into your Facebook page with powerful "like to view" and social commenting features.
Create a YouTube channel as a tab on your Facebook page. Deliver video directly to your social networks by incorporating your YouTube channel as a tab on your Facebook page. I've tried this one and it is great but Im not thrilled about the amount they want to charge to use the premium version.
Facebook Apps for Vimeo
The following is a list of Facebook video apps for Vimeo videos that allows you to showcase your vimeo videos on your Facebook profiles and Pages.
Display your Vimeo videos as a Tab within your Facebook Pages. From Tabfusion.com, not an official Vimeo developed application.

Facebook Video Chat & Video Calling Apps
The following is a list of Facebook video apps that allow for either video chatting with other Facebook users and/or video conference calling capabilities.
(Suggested by friend-of-ReelSEO Mari Smith): Live video chat to an audience. You can also launch a webcast at any time (or scheduled time) to your fans and the app then posts an announcement on your wall. The app can hold up to 300 viewers with a live chat alongside your webcam broadcast. You can easily record and archive your shows; and include the full chat transcript, too. Plus, you can even download the FLV file of your shows. The app tab is aptly named "Shows.”
Claims to be the largest chat service on Facebook. While they have a random video chat feature, you can also private 1-on-1 video chats with your Facebook friends. When it comes to personal video calling, all of your Facebook friends are listed separately with their online status and webcam availability. You can just click on the Call button to initiate a video chat or use the unique URL to invite people to the sessions. (Read our review of vChatter here)

Videos can also be tagged and commented on.
This application allows blip.tv to update Facebook when you post new blip.tv video episodes to your show page. It would be nice if they also had an application for Facebook pages, but I can not find one.
Wrapping-Up. Did I Miss Any Good Ones?
Some of these apps are free and others require either a one-time purchase or subscription. If you want more info before trying them out, I'd suggest looking at the reviews on the respective Facebook app pages or conduct a Google search with the name of the video app, including the keyword "review”.
What about you? Have you tried any other Facebook video apps that you would recommend? How about for the various video platforms (I cant find any except Viddler?)Have you had any experience with the apps listed in this post? If so, please let us know in the comments area below.
