Facebook Instant Articles for WP custom fields

I'm trying to include a custom field to the Facebook Instant Articles for WP plugin for Wordpress.

I'm on wordpress version 4.4.2 and php-5.6.18.

The custom field is a field for pasting youtube iframe code, for embedding in articles.

Can anyone provide a hint or an example of how to include this custom field in the generated output of the plugin?

Finally the solution was found in the plugin's support forum here 

use Facebook\InstantArticles\Elements\Video;

add_action( 'instant_articles_after_transform_post', function ($ia_post) {
    $instant_article = $ia_post->instant_article;
    $post_id = $ia_post->get_the_id();
    $video_url = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'video_url', true );
    $instant_article->addChild( Video::create()->withURL($video_url) );
} );
