Ever
wanted to download a Facebook video, but couldn't figure out how?
It's
actually not that hard.
Why
would you want to a download Facebook videos?
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 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.
So,
how do you download a Facebook video file so you can upload it to other places?
I'll show you below.

So
I replace the https://www with "m", like this:
Now
when you view the video, you see the mobile view, which fills the whole screen,
like this:
Step 4: Save the Video
Now
all you need to do is right click on the video and choose the "Save video
as" option.
You
will then see the MP4 option. Choose a name for the file and save to your
computer.
NOTE:
If you right click and have not played the video, this option does not come up.

simple! That's how you download Facebook videos.
