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.
