Video streaming has become a common practice on all platforms. Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter have all made the feature prominent as more people live stream and upload video content. YouTube already allows users to download and save videos to watch later.
A user might want to share interesting videos they find on Facebook to their contacts or on other platforms, but It is still not possible to download a video directly from Facebook. The only available option on the app is to share it directly on your timeline. However, it is possible to download Facebook videos to your Android or Apple devices using the following steps.
