Facebook lets you share the video by the share button and in that way, you will be sharing the link to the video and someone has to tap on that to open in Facebook to view that video. The problem is, if the video is not available later, the link would show an error. So, it’s better if you send the Facebook video to WhatsApp without a link.
If you want to send a video from Facebook to WhatsApp then there are many methods to do that. Either you want to send the video from Messenger to WhatsApp or want to send it from Facebook to WhatsApp in both cases you can do this without sharing the link to the video, actually by downloading or saving the video first and then sending the file to WhatsApp user.

How to Upload the Facebook Video to WhatsApp Status
When you come across an interesting video on your Facebook feed that you would love to share with your contacts on Whatsapp status, there are a couple of things you can do.
You can share the video by copying the link of the video you want to share and then pasting it on your Whatsapp update status page.
