# Using Facebook Backgrounds in Dynamic Videos

> Learn how to use Facebook backgrounds in dynamic videos with supported page types and troubleshoot common access errors.

Sendspark can use public Facebook pages as dynamic-video backgrounds — specifically non-private personal profiles (URLs starting with `/people/`) and business pages (URLs with `/p/` or a simple username). Private, Marketplace, Ads, Timeline, and Reels URLs won't work. If a page is restricted, you'll see a "content restricted" error; try another public page that matches a supported format.

## Key takeaways

* Works: public business pages and non-private personal profile pages.
* Supported URL formats include `/people/`, `/p/`, or a plain username like `/woodscoffee`.
* Doesn't work: Marketplace listings, Ads/sponsored content, Timeline or personal feed links, Reels URLs, and any private or restricted content.
* A "Page is content restricted" error means the page is private or region-locked — use a different public Facebook link.

✅ Supported Facebook Pages

Sendspark can successfully use backgrounds from public Facebook pages — specifically:

* **Non-private personal profile pages** (usually start with `/people/`)
* **Business pages** (often start with `/p/` or a simple username like `/woodscoffee`)

💡 Examples of working pages:

* [https://www.facebook.com/people/Patriot-Remodeling/100032747787102/](https://www.facebook.com/people/Patriot-Remodeling/100032747787102/)
* [https://www.facebook.com/woodscoffee](https://www.facebook.com/woodscoffee)

🚫 Unsupported Pages: Facebook restricts access to certain types of pages. The following **will not work** as backgrounds in Sendspark:

* Facebook **Marketplace** listings
* **Ads** pages or sponsored content
* **Timeline** or **personal feed** links
* **Reels** URLs
* Any **private or restricted** content

These pages are either protected by Facebook’s privacy settings or require authentication, making them inaccessible for background rendering.

⚠️ Possible Errors You Might See: If the page you’re using is not public or has been removed, you may see one of these error messages:

* **"Page is content restricted. Please try a different page.”**

→ This means the page is private or region-locked.Try using another Facebook link that matches the supported formats above.
