I’ve used Facebook’s embed functionality many time over the years.

Embedding posts are particularly useful for link share posts where you have curated content from another online source but want to additionally use it on your website. Of course a straight copy and paste job would be violating copyright, but you are allowed to embed your Facebook link post on your site. They are also ideal if you have created a Facebook Live video and want to share it further, perhaps on your blog.

Click the down arrow in the top right corner and the embed code will appear.
Copy and past that into your website. Change the pixel width in the code as you need to.
