You might not think that you'd ever need to download videos from Facebook - after all, they'll be around on Facebook forever, won't they? But there are some situations where you may find yourself needing to download videos from Facebook to your computer. The most common reason why you might want to download a video from Facebook is if you think it's a video you'll want to watch again and again for years into the future. If this is the case, whether it's a video of your children or of a great moment with your friends, it's usually a good idea to save it to your computer, because finding something old on Facebook can be very difficult - you might have to check through a lot of different pages and videos if you don't recall exactly when and where the video was recorded. But if you've got your own copy of the video saved to your hard drive, then you'll be able to watch it wherever and whenever you want. You'll also be able to take clips from the video for collages and slideshows, or upload the video to YouTube to share it with the world.

The issue is that Facebook, by default, does not allow users to download videos. However, you can still get around this restriction by using the program Free Facebook Video Downloader. This program allows you to download and video on Facebook and save it on your hard drive in a number of different formats. Once you have the video saved on your computer, you can store or share it anywhere.
