omer, Facebook have changed the video URL standard. In old version Facebook does not support playing iframe video on mobile devices. So, if you paste FB video link using an old URL format, it will play on desktop version but won’t play on mobile devices.
Presently, as far as I know new video URL format allows to play video on mobile devices and it requires to make changes for Video plugin parsing system . This has been reported to our developers and will be fixed in a future updates.

omer, for Facebook the Demo mobile version on desktop it is not the same that mobile version on mobile devices. To play video our system should grab this video using the URL in iframe. When you try to play this video on desktop mobile version Facebook recognize this link as a link to desktop version. But when you open the same video on mobile device, Facebook needs to get the mobile link, for example: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v= .
As I said before, an old URL version of iframe video was not supported on mobile devices. And as I understood you are using an old version of URL. That is why this works only on the desktop mobile version.
