Easily Download Facebook Live Videos from Private Group 2022
I FINALLY figured out how to download my Facebook Live Videos from a Private Facebook Group in 2022. This process doesn't work on mobile phones.
1. You have to use a desktop or laptop computer to find the "Download Video" option on Facebook videos.
2. You have to have the video in full screen mode.
3. From full screen mode, click the 3 dots on the upper-right hand corner and you should see the "Download Video" option to download your video file.
This is a great strategy for those who like to repurpose Facebook Live videos to other platforms.

THANK YOU! you just saved me from loosing it because I didn't find these 3 dots- so let me help others too: an update for finding those 3 dots in October 2023- you have to be in your PERSONAL ROOM inside the group, you do that by clicking your name above the video , only then you will see the comments area by the video and it will be there , inside THOSE 3 dots that appear above the comments area...

Hi! I followed your directions which were very easy to understand, but when I open my video in full-screen on my desktop, there are no three dots. It's January 2023, so maybe there's a different way now, but I can't find one that works. Any thoughts or assistance would be greatly appreciated! TIA :)

Hello. Very helpful video. I have a question, hope you will see it. If I am the owner (administrator of a private facebook group) and I do want to download, but I do not want others to download it, what should I do? Or this option is only for the creator? Thank you.

Unfortunately, this does not work for live streams to Facebook from Zoom. Any other suggestions?
Question - I'd like to hire this out. Do you have to be an admin to download the videos?

Is there a waiting period after going live before downloading? My page is not showing the download option. I'm using a Windows laptop and can also access through my android phone

There's usually a short delay while Facebook processes the video. I would open Meta Creator Studio to see if the video appears in your Published Live Videos library - business.facebook.com/creatorstudio/published?content_table=POSTED_POSTS&post_type=LIVE

It's so frustrating how Facebook updates this stuff every 3 months. 🤬 HOWEVER I just realized that the livestream distributor I was using, Restream, actually allows me to download my video so even though I can't get it out of Facebook, because I originally recorded it through Restream, I'm able to get my video. 👍🏻

@@MichaelDamond I mean... probably FB is bound and determined to retain people in the app, so I guess that's why they would remove downloads. It's so annoying though. Like in my case, I recorded a live to a private group that I use as a test... and then I wanted to move it to another FB group. So I wasn't even going to leave the FB ecosystem but... meh whatever. It's so tedious. haha
*I've used the mobile version (chrome) of 2024, and the new way to download is to hold the video*
Shoot, I wonder why. this doesn't work for me. I'm on a laptop MacBook Pro 2019.. I wonder if this is a problem because of the kind of computer I have? Or my settings? Nothing I do enables the 3 dots to show me a download option. When I click to full screen it has no 3 dots anymore 😆🤪
