â Facebook Download FAQ
Yes! Vidmate fully supports Facebook Watch downloads. Navigate to Facebook Watch through Vidmate’s browser, find your desired show or video, copy the link, and download it in your preferred quality. Facebook Watch often offers higher quality content compared to regular timeline videos.
Once a Facebook Live stream ends, it typically becomes a regular video post (if the broadcaster saves it). You can then download it like any other Facebook video by copying the link and using Vidmate. However, not all Live videos are saved – it depends on the broadcaster’s settings.
You can only download videos from private groups if you’re a member and have access to view the content. Vidmate respects Facebook’s privacy settings – if you can see the video in your browser, you can download it. Private content requires proper access permissions.
Facebook video quality depends on the original upload. Most videos offer HD (720p-1080p), SD (480p), and mobile quality (360p) options. Facebook Watch content often provides the highest quality. Vidmate will show all available options for each video, allowing you to choose based on your needs and storage space.
Downloading Facebook videos for personal use is generally acceptable, but always respect copyright laws and content creators’ rights. Only download content you have permission to use, don’t redistribute without consent, and follow Facebook’s terms of service. When in doubt, ask the content creator for permission.
Some Facebook videos may not be downloadable due to: 1) Privacy restrictions (private accounts/groups), 2) Content protection by the uploader, 3) Geographic restrictions, 4) Technical limitations. Try refreshing the page, checking your permissions, or updating Vidmate. Visit our troubleshooting guide for more help.
