How to download a video from Facebook

  1. Pick a video
    Find a video you want to save.
  2. Copy the link
    Click the three dots at the top right corner of the video, and then copy the link.
  3. Paste that link into a new tab
    Paste the link you copied into a new tab to navigate to that site.
  4. Delete “www” in the url and change it to “mbasic.”
    In the link, delete the “www” and change it to “mbasic.” This will turn your site into a very retro version of Facebook.
  5. Open the video in a new tab
    This will now be a single video on a black screen.
  6. Right click, and save the video
    Right click on the video, click save as, and boom! You’re done.

There is an easier way, and it’s how you can also save it on a mobile device. You can download a video from Facebook in the same way you would download a video from Twitter: by copying the share link, and pasting that link into a third-party website designed to do all of that work for you. Once you have the tweet link copied, you’ll want to go to a website like FB Down. There, you’ll paste the copied link and click download. You can also download a third-party app like the Friendly for Facebook app, which gives the Facebook app extra features, including a downloading option.
