Questions
Why didn't my Facebook link work?
Public videos work from the link; group and friends-only videos need the extension and access to the video.
Can I download any Facebook video?
Download only videos you made or have permission to use. Re-uploading someone else's video can break copyright and the platform's rules.
Can I download a Facebook live stream?
Yes, once the live has ended and been saved as a video on the page.
Why does it say I need to log in?
Some videos are only shown to logged-in viewers. The extension can read those from your own session if you can see them.
