Description

I want you to send a facebook link of a video to a friend through messenger. If you do it manually and wait a few milliseconds after the link is pasted, the video is kind of uploaded and a visualization of the video inside the chat is possible.

Any idea how can I do it using fbchat? I tried to send to the link, but no visualization is shown. Only the url.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Facebook Messenger handles video link previews, and explore if fbchat can pre process the URL to trigger preview generation.
