Saving Facebook videos to your computer or device makes it possible to enjoy offline or watch your favorite videos later without having to log into social networking sites. This wikiHow teaches you how to download and save videos directly from Facebook pages, or use third-party apps / websites to save Facebook videos to Android and iOS mobile devices.

Steps

   Play the video, then click “Options” below the video.

3. 

   Click either “Download SD” or “Download HD”, depending on your video quality option. SD is the standard resolution, while HD is a high resolution with a larger file size. The video will begin to download itself on the Internet browser.
   • Follow the steps instructed in the second method to save a video posted by a friend if you don't see download options. This is because the video was not originally posted by your Facebook profile.
