How to Add Clickable Link on Facebook Story:

You may have noticed some Facebook stories featuring a clickable link that can be opened directly by tapping on them. You may already know how to share photographs and videos on your Facebook stories, but adding a clickable link is more difficult. Do you want to include a link like this in your Facebook story as well?
You’ll need to do this for a variety of reasons. You might, for example, want to include your YouTube videos or a link to an important webpage in your story. Making the link clickable allows users to visit the website without having to open it in a browser and manually type the URL. This will help boost your link’s click-through rate (CTR).

We will offer you a link that you can use to post a clickable link on your Facebook stories using this way. This method works in a browser and does not require the use of the Facebook app.
Now select the option for Your Story. The News Feed is also selected by default. You can untick this option if you don’t want to post the link on your profile. Finally, press the Post button to finish adding a clickable link to your Facebook story. Simply go to your profile and look it up.

Add a link on a Facebook story using WhatsApp

Facebook and WhatsApp are now linked in some way. When you create a new WhatsApp status, you can also publish it on your Facebook story. This feature allows you to add a clickable link to your Facebook stories. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Go to the Status tab in WhatsApp on your smartphone.
At the top, you’ll notice the My Status option. To create a text status, click the pencil edit icon on it.
Now copy and paste the URL into your Facebook story. Make sure it’s clickable and displays a preview. Make a status update on WhatsApp with it.

After you’ve posted it, you’ll see the option to share it with your Facebook Story. Simply click on it.
The WhatsApp app will then direct you to the Facebook app, where you will be asked to update your status on your Facebook story. Click the “Share Now” button. That concludes our discussion. Your Facebook story will now have a clickable link.

Add YouTube video link on a Facebook story

You might wish to include a clickable link to a YouTube video in your Facebook story. This can be done immediately from the YouTube website. To begin, go to YouTube using any browser on your smartphone. Open the video you wish to share on your Facebook post and find it. Select the Facebook option after clicking the Share button.
It will now open a new tab with the Facebook website. This is the same page that you may get to directly using the first technique we described before. To add a clickable link to the YouTube video on your Facebook story, go to the Your Story option and then hit the Post button. If you don’t want to share it on your profile, untick the News feed option.

Post clickable link on a story using the Facebook app

This method may or may not work for everyone. We’ll show you an easy solution for posting a clickable link on your Facebook article using the Facebook app. So, first and foremost, open the Facebook app on your phone and create a new post. Copy the link and wait for the video to load.
Remove the link after the preview has loaded and share the post to your News Feed. Then, on the newly made post, hit the Share icon and select the Share to Your Story option. This will create a new story on Facebook with the same clickable link as the one you shared in your prior post. After that, you can erase the regular post from your profile.
