I use the standard, but I've used both.
I'm not sure what to say, it worked a few days ago for me...

Hey.

Well, it didn't do that. The link is there but nothing else. I rather dislike 
that. I wonder, do you use the standard page to make posts, yourself, or are 
you using the mobile one?

  It does it automatically after you post it.
  I don't think there is any way to disable it. Your link will be there in the 
post, then underneath what you've written the name of the video will be there, 
along with the website it's from.
  Hope this helps,

  Hey.

  I can paste a link, but I want to embed it so that the link is actually the 
name of the youtube video, for example, and not a meaningless URL. You can do 
this with the regular facebook page.

  I can see one name or item, but underneath that jaws only says "photo". Each 
one is a link. But I don't want to have to click on a link to determine who the 
person is or what the item might be.

  HOpe this makes sense. heheh

    Hello,
    Just paste the link into the edit box in which your post is in if you want 
to post a link.
    You can see people's names your friend added, you just can't click on them. 
It's a fast chain of names under the one or two linked people you see.
    FB changes every second, so This is info I've found in the last few days. 
FB is changing so much that we are always having to find new ways of using FB, 
so all I can say is experiment and send FB suggestions on how they can make FB 
more accessible.
    Thanks,

    Brandon Keith

    Hello everyone.
    I'm sure everyone's tired of facebook and all its ubiquity and quirks being 
discussed on here, but I just got on board with the thing and am finally 
figuring out how to use it best. I do find, like many screenreader-using folks 
it seems, that the mobile site is less of a headache. However, I have a couple 
of questions:

    1. Is there a way to embed videos and links in your posts using the mobile 
site as you can with the standard facebook page?

    2. This one is more jaws related...I'd like facebook to display the names 
of people and interests and so on rather than photos. What i mean by that is 
that, as most users probably know already, facebook will tell you that, for 
example, someone on your friends list has added so-and-so as a friend, along 
with six other people. The first person's username is given, but the rest show 
only photos. SImilarly, if I click on someone's profile, I can see only one 
item for each category listed displayed as text links, while the rest are all 
images. If I click on each image I can find out what they actually represent, 
but needless to say I would rather not do this.

    Thanks.
