Facebook Live videos are broadcast in real-time, but after the stream ends, the replay is saved and available for others to watch. These replays can be downloaded before they're deleted or set to private. Here's everything you need to know about downloading Facebook Live videos in 2026.
Understanding Facebook Live Replays
When a Facebook Live ends, the broadcaster has the option to save it as a video on their profile or page. If they choose to share it publicly, it appears as a regular video post with a "Live" indicator.
- Facebook Live replays are treated like any other Facebook video once the stream ends
- They remain publicly viewable until the host deletes them or changes privacy settings
- Anyone can watch the replay if the host's profile or page is public
How to Download Facebook Live Videos
Step 1: Find the Live replay
Navigate to the public Facebook profile or page that hosted the Live. Look for the video post labeled "Live" or with a red Live indicator. Alternatively, go to the Videos tab of the profile and filter by "Live Videos."
Step 2: Get the video URL
- Click the Live replay video to open it
- Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
- Tap the three-dot menu on the video post
- Select "Copy link"
Step 3: Open indirici.net/facebook-video-saver
Our Facebook Video Saver handles Live replays the same way as regular Facebook videos.
Step 4: Paste and process
Paste the Facebook Live URL and click Save. Processing takes 15-30 seconds for longer videos.
Step 5: Download
- 30-minute Live at HD: approximately 200-400MB
- 1-hour Live at HD: approximately 400-800MB
Can I Download a Facebook Live That's Still in Progress?
No. Live streams that are currently broadcasting cannot be downloaded using our tool. You must wait until the Live ends and the replay is available.
Saving Your Own Facebook Live Videos
If you hosted the Live, you have an additional option: Facebook allows you to download your own Live videos directly.
- Go to your Facebook profile or page
- Navigate to your Live video post
- Click the three-dot menu → "Download video"
This downloads the raw video file at the original streaming quality.
Facebook Live Video Quality
- Strong connection: 720p or 1080p
- Moderate connection: 480p
- Weak connection: 360p or lower
Our tool downloads at the highest quality Facebook has stored for the replay.
Can I Download Facebook Live Videos from Groups?
Only if the Group is public. Private Facebook Group videos (including Live replays) are inaccessible without group membership authentication, which our tool doesn't provide.
What About Facebook Stories Live?
Facebook Stories are a different format from Facebook Live. For Stories content, see our general Facebook Video Saver guide.
