How to Download Facebook Live Feed Video

Wondering how to download Facebook videos?

It's actually not that hard.

Why would you want to a extract a Facebook video file?

Maybe you want to use a clip from it. Or maybe you want to re-edit the video, re-share it, or post it to try to get more Likes on Facebook.

Here are 3 other possible reasons:

1. You uploaded via Instagram

You created a video on Instagram and pushed it to your Facebook Page (excellent way to get big reach, btw!).

Now you want to extract the Facebook video and use the video on YouTube, Vimeo or your own site.

2. You uploaded via a gaming console

My 10 year old son wants to be one of those gamer kids on his YouTube channel.

His PS4 console has the option to record the video game -- but then only allows him to post it to Facebook, not YouTube.

Not good.

3. You created a Live video on a private Facebook Group

If you have a private Facebook Group and you're actively going Live, you might want to share that content in other locations.

Now you can!

So, how do you download a Facebook video file so you can upload it to other places? I'll show you below.
