Download live stream Facebook video after broadcast
A live stream becomes downloadable after the host ends it and Facebook finishes processing the replay, which can take a few minutes to an hour for long shows. Open the replay, copy its link and paste it above to get an MP4 file.
Why a live link may fail
While a stream is running, the video is still being produced, so no complete file exists. If you see an error, wait for the broadcast to finish and try again. Streams deleted by the host or restricted to followers cannot be fetched.
Great uses for saved replays
Students keep classroom sessions, churches archive services, gamers save highlights and businesses reuse webinars. Always follow the host's rules, because many live shows are copyrighted performances that you may watch but not republish.
How to use the Facebook Live Stream Downloader
- Open the video on Facebook, tap Share and choose Copy link.
- Paste the link into the box at the top of this page, or press the Paste button.
- Press Download, wait a moment while the formats load, then pick the quality you want and save the file.
The whole process takes a few seconds and works the same way on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac. You do not need to install an app, create an account or sign in, and the Facebook Live Stream Downloader never asks for your Facebook password. If a link fails to load, check that the video is public and that you copied the full address.

Tips for the best results
On mobile, copy the link from the Share menu instead of the browser address bar; shortened fb.watch links work perfectly. If the video is very long, give the server a little extra time to read it. Clear your clipboard between downloads, and if a particular video refuses to load, try again in a few minutes or use the page-source method on our Private Video tool. Keeping your browser updated also avoids most copy and paste problems.
Use it responsibly
Videos on Facebook belong to their creators. Use the Facebook Live Stream Downloader only for content you own, content you have permission to save, or material that is clearly free to share, and respect copyright and each creator's privacy. Saved clips should be for personal, offline viewing such as watching on a flight, keeping family memories or archiving your own uploads. This website is independent and is not affiliated with Facebook or Meta.
Supported links and formats
The Facebook Live Stream Downloader accepts links from facebook.com, m.facebook.com, web.facebook.com, mbasic.facebook.com and the short fb.watch domain, including video, watch, reel and share URLs. Downloads are delivered as MP4 video, with separate audio and photo options where Facebook provides them. If you are unsure which address to paste, copy it from the Share menu of the post. Results depend on what Facebook makes available at the time, so quality choices can differ from one video to another.
