I had same issue on my app and I solved it.

If you want to share the video in your app, you must install Facebook app.

Using Webview, you can not share video file.

If you want to still share the video in your app, you can use link share feature.

Best

Videos must be less than 12MB in size.

Read the "Videos" section of https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android

        .build();
ShareVideoContent content = new ShareVideoContent.Builder()
        .setVideo(video)
