Saving Facebook videos to your computer or device allows you to enjoy your favorite videos offline or watch them later without logging into the social media platform. Today, Mytour will guide you on how to download and save videos directly from Facebook or use third-party apps/websites to save Facebook videos to your Android or iOS device.
Steps
Saving Videos You Uploaded
Log into Facebook and navigate to the video you want to save. Videos you've uploaded to Facebook can be found in Photos > Albums > Videos.
Play the video, then click on 'Options' below the video.
Click on 'Download SD' or 'Download HD,' depending on the video quality settings. SD stands for standard resolution, while HD offers higher resolution with a larger file size. The video will automatically start downloading in your internet browser.
- Follow the steps outlined in the second method to save videos posted by friends if download options are unavailable. This occurs when the video wasn't originally uploaded by your Facebook profile.
Open the default Downloads folder on your computer. The Facebook video will be saved in the Downloads folder.
Saving Videos Posted by Others
Log into Facebook and navigate to the video you wish to save.
