Every video on Facebook has an address, the same way a house has one. That address is the link. If you have the link of a public video, you already have everything this page needs. It does not matter whether you copied it yourself or received it from a relative in a message.
Facebook links come in several shapes, and that can look confusing. Some are long and begin with facebook.com. Some are short and begin with fb.watch. Others are created by the Share button. You do not need to tell them apart. Paste whichever one you have in the box above and the tool finds the video.

Questions and answers
Where do I find the link of a Facebook video on a computer?
Click the video so that it opens on its own, then copy the address shown in the bar at the top of the browser. Another way is to click the three dots on the post and choose Copy link.
Does a fb.watch link work?
Yes. A fb.watch link is only a shortened address created by Facebook, and it leads to the same video. Paste it exactly as it is. Links created by the Share button work in the same way.
I pasted the link and received an error. What should I check?
First, see if the whole link was copied, without a missing piece at the end. Then open the link in a private browser window. If Facebook asks you to log in to watch, the video is not public and cannot be downloaded.
Can I download a video from a closed group with the link?
No. Having the link is not enough when the video is in a closed group or on a restricted profile. Those videos are shown only to members or friends, and the tool sees only what is public.
Is the link I paste kept by the site?
No. The link is used at that moment to find the video and is not saved in a history tied to you. The video is not kept on our servers either. It goes directly to your device.
A friend sent me a link. May I download that video?
You may if the video belongs to your friend and they are happy for you to keep it, or if its author gave permission. Receiving a link does not, by itself, give the right to republish the video.
