How to Download Facebook Videos in HD (Watch, Page & fb.watch)
Facebook plays its videos well but locks the file away. Public Watch clips and Page videos can be saved directly in HD with just the post link. Group-only or friends-only videos are a different story — nobody outside the audience can fetch those, and any tool claiming otherwise is lying to you.
How to do it, step by step
- 1
Open the video post
Locate the video in the Facebook app or on facebook.com in a browser. Public Page videos resolve most reliably; Watch clips and short fb.watch links work identically.
- 2
Copy the video link
Use the share menu → 'Copy link'. On desktop, the browser URL bar already holds the correct address.
- 3
Paste, preview and save
Drop the link into the downloader. You get a preview with title and author first, then the qualities the source genuinely exposes. If a live stream is still running, come back once it has ended and Facebook publishes the replay.

Tips that save you time
- fb.watch short links are equal citizens — no need to expand them.
- Audience matters: if the post is friends-only, it will correctly show unavailable.
- Private videos are never accessed, so you never download something you shouldn't.
