Everyone using any social network knows that Facebook is the most trendy social media for business development and simple communication with like-minded people. But with each passing day, FB is making its users more and more pleased, and this time it's the video content lovers. So, Facebook is already a worthy competitor to YouTube! And that's because the platform provides extensive opportunities for posting not only pictures but videos of excellent quality too.
Many users are excited about the variety of content. Business account owners, in turn, are rejoicing because it's even easier to attract clients by creating an incredible product or service video. Video content has been gaining more and more momentum lately, which means that this platform can already be considered a source of diverse and versatile videos.
But now the question is the following: Can I download Facebook video content to my phone, computer, or tablet without damaging a device, without spending a lot of time and ending up with a stored video in a safe folder and thereby putting the video away for later? So here I'll show you how you can keep FB videos, and you can decide what's the best way for you: HD Facebook video downloader, apps, browser extensions, and two more methods of video getting from FB.
4 Tips on How to Save Videos from Facebook to Your Phone or Computer
Tip # 1. Online Savers
This way of downloading is ideal for those who save videos on a "one-off basis" and see no point in installing additional software. Inline savers are the same as web-based downloaders: they operate without installing into your device and only need a link to a FB video. See in steps how to keep videos from FB this way:
1. Open a web saver (like FrogJet, SaveFrom, KeepVid, Getfvid, or other).
2. Load a FB page in a new window to find a video.
3. Copy the video URL and paste it into a loaded saver;
4. Many savers offer a quality option as they are designed as HD Facebook video downloader tools. So, pick out the desired quality or definition.
5. Press on a save button and look for the video into a default pc download folder (usually called Downloads).
Tip # 2. Browser Extensions
The thing is that this method requires more time as an extension should be installed. But it is suitable for those who often come down to downloading videos, and using the method described above is not entirely practical.
After browser extension installation, you may keep content using a download icon on a browser when opening a necessary video. Go to a google search and insert "browser extensions to save Facebook videos" to decide on the best extension for you (Social video downloader, Download Facebook.net, etc.).
Tip # 3. Video Address Change
This method of saving takes time too, but if you do it right, you will end up with a video on your computer.
We've uploaded a video using this method via a chrome browser. It might work on other browsers, but we don't promise it. So here is what you should do to upload content via google chrome:
1. Open the FB page with the browser and find a video.
2. Copy the video address and insert it on a new page.
3. Modify "www" to "m." (make sure you enter ".") on the address and hit Enter.
4. Play the video in this window and pick out "Save video as" after right-clicking on it.
5. Done.
Note: You may replace "www" into the address with "mbasic" too.
Tip # 4. Screen Recording
This method will always come in handy if you don't want to use additional instruments or if you don't download videos that often at all. But I should say that this way has one major disadvantage — poor quality of an uploaded video, and also it records everything that happens on the whole screen, which means that there might be more than just video. But this method of saving is quick enough, and you may use it to upload video as a personal archive.
Here is how to keep a video with a screen recording feature:
1. Find a video on FB that you are going to save.
2. Swipe the screen from the top to the bottom (Android) or swipe the screen from the bottom to the top ((iPhone) to open the menu and pick out the "circles" button.
3. Tap the button and go back to the FB video to play it and record.
4. After the video ends, go back to the button and tap it to stop a screen recording.
Note: if you own an Android and there is no screen recording button in the menu, you need to activate it in the phone Settings or download special screen recording apps (there are plenty of them on the Play Store).
Conclusion:
It does not matter whether you save a video with an HD Facebook video downloader or via a browser extension because in all cases, you need to consider the following: respect the owners of the videos and do not infringe on copyrights or you may be in trouble with the law.
