ovr_Media_ShareToFacebook ( const char * postTextSuggestion, const char * filePath, ovrMediaContentType contentType )

Detailed Description

Sharing a screenshot or other media to Facebook is a great way to increase visibility of your application to people that might not have a VR Headset.

Oculus currently supports sharing photos to Facebook. You can pass us the path to a screenshot or other photo on the user's phone, and we'll launch a share-to-facebook modal, allowing the user to share that photo to Facebook from VR. You can also pass us a default comment to prepopulate the user's facebook status for the post.
