> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > Not having a Facebook account, and being loaded with FB ignorance, this doesn’t answer my question. Do you actually have to send it on to someone else? The SHARE button will send the video out to everybody who views your page, and the only way _they_ can see it is if they pass it along to everybody that views _their_ pages. ---

Not that I advocate spreading this sort of thing but one can always change the privacy setting on the share screen to have it visible to “Only Me”. ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > Not that I advocate spreading this sort of thing but one can always change the privacy setting on the share screen to have it visible to “Only Me”. I would have to switch it to that right before “sharing” the video, then switch it back every single time because of some games I play and also because of 3 or 4 groups I am involved with that communicate mostly through Facebook. ---

What happens when the last person on Facebook receives the video, and can’t share it with any friends who haven’t already seen it? Hmm, maybe _that’s_ their secret plan… ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > And you could do the same thing when it comes to viewing my posts. Win/Win for everybody! Believe me, if you required me to share your OP before I could read it - I’d definitely pass. As it is, your threads are always fairly entertaining but not usually for the reasons you intended. ---

> [@Telemark](#): > > I’ve never seen this. I must have a higher class of friends. 🙂 It’s not my friends I think I’m having trouble with. it’s my “friends”-my compatriots in some online games I am currently involved in. I may just have to give them up eventually. ---
