Download Private Facebook Videos
The Facebook private video downloading requires you to view the page source code and search for the video URL. See the steps below.
What is a private Facebook video downloader?
Private videos are not for everyone to watch and are only shared with a specific Facebook group or with selected friends. Since Facebook doesn’t offer an option to save private videos, downloading them can be difficult.
However, with the help of private Facebook video downloaders, you can save these private videos to your device. These tools are often online websites or browser extensions that extract the URL from the source code of the Facebook video page, so you can download the video file via the URL.
Can Facebook private videos be downloaded?
So, let's back to the topic. Facebook private videos can be downloaded, but it’s more complicated than downloading public videos from Facebook. And you may not always succeed, but you can give it a try by following the methods below.
View Page Source Code Method
For this method, you need to know a little coding because you need to view the source code to find the video link.
So, first of all, log in to your Facebook account and find the private video you want to download. Make sure you’re allowed to view it.
Then, right-click anywhere on the page (but not on the video) and choose "View Page Source" from the menu. A new tab will open with lots of text. Press Ctrl+F (for Windows PC) or Command+F (for Mac), and type "video/mp4" in the search box. This will help you find the video link. Look for the link that ends with .mp4.
Now, you have only one last step. Copy the link, open a new tab, paste the link, and press Enter.
The video will start playing. Right-click on the video and select "Save Video As..." to save it to your device.
