Why should you save Facebook Live videos?
Because you can use leverage them and upload them to your other social media platforms like Youtube, etc.!
You can also edit them and upload them to Instagram, etc.

In the link, replace the “www” with the letter “m”
The link will take you a new page with video. While the video is paused, right click on the video and click on ‘inspect’.
A panel will open up on the right hand side, click on the word ‘Network’.
Next, click on any part of the video. The video will start to play.
Next, click on the video and a number series will appear. Double click on the number series (you can see where the number series is in the image below).
Now that you double clicked on the number series, a new tab will open automatically with the downloadable video.
Final step – click on the arrow in the bottom right corner to download the video.
