How to download videos from Facebook

Facebook is booming with video content: educational videos instructing you to garden and code addictive and ineffective 5-minute craft videos and those very clearly faked videos of people who catch their partners cheating on them, and aliens caught on film. If you have a desire for content, then that content is probably to be available on Facebook in video form.

If you'd like to share the video, copy the URL and send the link to a friend or DM it to them through the application. You can save the video, but it's not actually saving the video to your phone or computer's hard drive. Instead, it adds the video to your saved bookmarks for videos so that you can locate it quicker and then watch it on Facebook. Sometimes, however it's too amazing or useful to not save it on your phone. Perhaps you'd like it to show a parent, or access it even when you're not online. To download the video from Facebook it is necessary to follow through with several steps.

Before we get started It's crucial to remember that you shouldn't be rushing into downloading just any video. It's not a good idea to download content with copyrights, and if you want to download a friend's privately uploaded video on Facebook it's possible to think of asking them if it's OK before going through the trouble of downloading. Maybe they'll give the video to you.

There's a better way to save a video, and that's the way you can save the video on a mobile device. You can download a video from Facebook just as you would download a YouTube video from Twitter by copying the share link, and paste that link into an unofficial website that can take care of all that work for you. Once you've got the tweet link copied, you'll need to go to a website like FB Down. Then, you'll need to paste the copied link and click to download. It is also possible to download a third-party app like the Friendly for Facebook app which offers the Facebook app additional options, such as a download option.
