If you’re an avid user of Metacafe, you may have already noticed that the Facebook logo has been appearing in all sorts of places on the site. Yes, that’s right, we have added support for Facebook Connect!  Adding Facebook Connect brings many convenient features to the Metacafe community:

• You can now sign in using your Facebook username and password.
• You can link your existing Metacafe account to your Facebook account, making it easier to share videos with your Facebook friends.
• You can share the following videos on your Facebook news feed:
  • Videos you’ve added as a favorite
  • Videos you’ve ranked
  • Videos you’ve submitted
• (Coming soon) You’ll be able to post comments you’ve made to a video.

Setting up Facebook Connect on Metacafe is pretty simple. Once you click on the button, you’ll be greeted with the following screen:

Click on “Connect.” You’ll then be presented with a screen which will allow you to adjust your Facebook Connect settings and link your Facebook account with your Metacafe account. Click on “Done” and you’re all set!  Facebook Connect settings are also found in your Metacafe Account Settings, so you can adjust them if you happen to change your mind down the road.
