Stanislav KhromovStanislav Khromov

Facebook has now publicly released oEmbed support, and a WordPress core ticket is under way to add support in a future WordPress version.

If you want to try out the new Facebook oEmbed support today, you can download and install this plugin: GitHub project or Direct zip download.

Here is an example of what the embed looks like:
fb-oembed

If you prefer the code, here it is in its entirety:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Facebook oEmbed
Version: 1.1
Author: khromov
*/

/**
 * https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34737
 */
add_action('init', function() {

    $endpoints = array(
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/video.php.*#i'          => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/.*/videos/.*#i'         => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/.*/posts/.*#i'          => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/.*/activity/.*#i'       => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/photo(s/|.php).*#i'     => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/permalink.php.*#i'      => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/media/.*#i'             => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/questions/.*#i'         => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/',
        '#https?://www\.facebook\.com/notes/.*#i'             => 'https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/'
    );

    foreach($endpoints as $pattern => $endpoint) {
        wp_oembed_add_provider( $pattern, $endpoint, true );
    }
});
