Facebook Watch offers thousands of impressive, high-quality videos for both entertainment and educational purposes. It also provides content you can't find anywhere else, like Huda Kattan's behind-the-scenes show Huda Boss, or Bear Grylls' show, Face The Wild.
So what happens when you stumble across a great Facebook Watch video but don't have the time to watch it fully, or find the content so useful you want to save the video and use it as a reference tool later? Fortunately, there's a quick and easy way to download and save Facebook videos on desktop -- here, we'll show you how.
How to download Facebook Live videos
Unfortunately, Facebook removed the workarounds to download Live videos in 2016. However, if you want to save a Facebook live video to watch at a later time, you can -- simply click the three dot icon on the video, and select "Save Video". Later, you'll find the video under your "Saved" category.
1. Go to Facebook Watch, find a video you want to download, and click the three-dot Settings icon. Then, select "Copy link".
