Many people want to save Facebook videos that are marked as private or shared only with friends. This guide explains exactly what is possible in 2026.
Can Third-Party Tools Download Private Facebook Videos?
No. A private Facebook video is only accessible to people who have permission to view it (the poster's friends or specific people). Third-party downloaders cannot authenticate as you, so they cannot access private videos.
Be cautious of sites that claim to download private Facebook videos — they typically require your Facebook login, which is a serious security and privacy risk. Never enter your Facebook credentials on a third-party website.
What Facebook Videos Can Be Downloaded?
Public Facebook videos (set to Everyone) can be downloaded using indirici.net without any login.
Videos shared with "Friends only" or custom audiences cannot be accessed.
How to Download Public Facebook Videos
- Go to the Facebook video (public post).
- Click or tap Share.
- Select Copy Link.
- Open indirici.net.
- Paste the link.
- Click Save.
- Download in HD or SD.
What If the Original Video Was Public but Is Now Private?
Once a video is changed to private, it is no longer accessible via public URL. No downloader can access it.
What About Facebook Videos Shared in Groups?
Videos in private Facebook Groups are only accessible to group members. Downloaders cannot access these.
Is There a Safe Way to Save a Video Shared in Your Private Feed?
If someone shared a video with you specifically, you can try copying the video URL from your feed and pasting it into indirici.net. If the original post is public, it will work.
Conclusion
Only public Facebook videos can be downloaded with indirici.net. Private videos require Facebook login and cannot be accessed by any legitimate third-party tool. For public videos, copy the link and use indirici.net — free and instant.
