THANK YOU! you just saved me from loosing it because I didn't find these 3 dots- so let me help others too: an update for finding those 3 dots in October 2023- you have to be in your PERSONAL ROOM inside the group, you do that by clicking your name above the video , only then you will see the comments area by the video and it will be there , inside THOSE 3 dots that appear above the comments area...
Did not work. Aug 18th, 2023. Don't know if they changed it but I tried every possible way of going full screen. Download option isn't in the dropdown menu.
Hi! I followed your directions which were very easy to understand, but when I open my video in full-screen on my desktop, there are no three dots. It's January 2023, so maybe there's a different way now, but I can't find one that works. Any thoughts or assistance would be greatly appreciated! TIA :)
I know this just happened to me!! was so excited to have it figured out- no idea why they have removed those 3 dots- will keep watching here avidly for any updates!
@@Wemergemedia the three dots are back when you try your way- I just tried it then- for some reason yesterday it wasn't working but now its back! yay! Thanks again for this video!
@@MichaelDamond I am struggling. I used to be able to do it years ago, like you said. I see some comments saying it still works. Do you have any tips? Things.
Is this a feature that has recently been removed because I don't have it on my live video post in my Facebook group and I tried from my desktop. I'd appreciate any help.
Hello. Very helpful video. I have a question, hope you will see it. If I am the owner (administrator of a private facebook group) and I do want to download, but I do not want others to download it, what should I do? Or this option is only for the creator? Thank you.
It's so frustrating how Facebook updates this stuff every 3 months. 🤬 HOWEVER I just realized that the livestream distributor I was using, Restream, actually allows me to download my video so even though I can't get it out of Facebook, because I originally recorded it through Restream, I'm able to get my video. 👍🏻
@@MichaelDamond I mean... probably FB is bound and determined to retain people in the app, so I guess that's why they would remove downloads. It's so annoying though. Like in my case, I recorded a live to a private group that I use as a test... and then I wanted to move it to another FB group. So I wasn't even going to leave the FB ecosystem but... meh whatever. It's so tedious. haha
Hey mate... do you know how to download someone else video when your in their private group (I have paid for a course). Because this method you just shared doesn't work when they are not your video's. Cheers
Is there a waiting period after going live before downloading? My page is not showing the download option. I'm using a Windows laptop and can also access through my android phone
There's usually a short delay while Facebook processes the video. I would open Meta Creator Studio to see if the video appears in your Published Live Videos library - business.facebook.com/creatorstudio/published?content_table=POSTED_POSTS&post_type=LIVE
Shoot, I wonder why. this doesn't work for me. I'm on a laptop MacBook Pro 2019.. I wonder if this is a problem because of the kind of computer I have? Or my settings? Nothing I do enables the 3 dots to show me a download option. When I click to full screen it has no 3 dots anymore 😆🤪
Bummer. I saw a new feature about transferring data. I’m going to test it out and make another video once I understand how it works. I’ll let you know!
Hmm, I just checked and mine still works. A friend found an external tool to download her videos. I’ll ask about it and come back here to share the link. I haven’t personally used it but it worked for her.
