First thing is make sure the computer is running the latest version of Ventura version 13.0.1
Second, is the video download to the computer ? If so use the Builtin QuickTime Player application located in in the Outer Folder of Launchpad or search Quicktime in Search of Finder
Thirdly, if above does not work communicate with FaceBook as per link provided Help Center - Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com › help

Ventura software is running version 13.0.1
The video is not downloaded.
I am trying to watch it on my iMac directly from FB. The video is displayed on a page I follow on FB. When I click the play button it plays for a few seconds then displays the message "Sorry, we're having trouble with playing this video" Try again. Nothing I have tried works. I have sent a message to FB.
If I use the FB app on my iPad the video plays OK.
It seems to be a problem with one FB page as I can watch videos on other pages I follow. I have tried using Opera to watch the problem page and it works on there. I normally use Safari as my default browser.
I suggest you close the app and try again. If the error continues it will reset the computer. As a last resort, I recommend updating the system. The new version should fix the bugs
Are you having problems with all Facebook videos or just the ones on the page you are following? Which browser are you using and have you tried others?
How it works within the FB Application ( Environment ) on an iDevice does not always translate to working outside of the FB Application (Environment )
It's hard to say what the problem might be without knowing which page is causing the problem. If you have any Safari extensions installed to block ads etc. you can trying disabling them and test.
