Facebook Connect is no longer available – Office Support

Facebook Connect is no longer available

Facebook has made an update to their Graph API that will influence Microsoft apps and services. Facebook’s Graph API is the device that we use to connect your Microsoft account to Facebook. It brings contact information from your Facebook friends into Outlook.com and the Windows People app, keeps those contacts up-to-date, and provides options in apps and services like Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, and OneDrive.com to share to Facebook. We collectively refer to these features as Facebook Connect.

Due to these switches, Facebook Connect features will no longer be supported. This article explains how these switches will influence your connected apps and services.
