Facebook Live Video Download — Save Replays After Stream Ends

Facebook Live videos are great for events, Q&A sessions, and live streams, but they disappear from feeds quickly. Once a live stream ends and is posted as a replay, you can download it as an MP4 for offline viewing or archiving.

Can you download Facebook Live videos?

Yes, but only after the live broadcast ends and the replay is posted as a regular video. You cannot download a video while it is still live because the file is not complete yet.

How to download a Facebook Live replay

1. Find the replay on the page or profile after the stream ends.
2. Copy the video URL from the address bar or share menu.
3. Go to DropZap's Facebook Video Downloader.
4. Paste the URL and click Download.
5. Save the MP4 to your device.

How long does Facebook keep live replays?

Facebook keeps live replays indefinitely unless the creator deletes them. As long as the replay is publicly visible, it can be downloaded.

Why some live replays can't be downloaded

Replays from private groups, friends-only posts, or deleted streams cannot be accessed by external tools. Only public replays can be downloaded.
