In a series of Facebook branding page customization we already discussed about How to add Youtube Video on Facebook branding page with Static FBML , how to show Tag clouds on your Facebook page and in this tutorial we will discuss about How to add complete Youtube channel on Facebook with the help of Static FBML.

Building a Facebook app is very easy, either you can use iframe or FBML to call the applications. The main problem in iframe is “body script errors” on adding it into fanpage tabs.

Requirement

1. Add this awesome application “Static FBML” into your desired Facebook pages.
2. Create custom player available for custom youtube playlist. Check how to customize and share Youtube playlist for more details.
3.The playlist code will probably include an URL that looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/v/FI76sKLMkMU&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6
4. We will use <fb:swf> tag in FBML for calling Youtube playlist as a flash.
