4 Ways to Save Video from Facebook Comment for Private Use Only

Copyright & Fair Use Notice

Sometimes, there are informative and interesting videos in the comment box on Facebook; you want to save them for offline viewing or share them with your friends who may not have access to Facebook. Facebook doesn't include any built-in features or tools to do so.

Luckily, you can still download videos from Facebook if they're public. Computer users can get the videos by either changing the copied link or installing a reliable desktop tool like EaseUS Video Downloader, while Android and iPhone users can save Facebook videos using online services or mobile apps. Now, let's get into the details.

Quick Solution

Rreminder: Always make sure you have permission to download and use any video content, as downloading copyrighted or private videos may violate Facebook's terms of service or local laws.

Using Browser Developer Tools (For Personal Use Only)

If you want to save a video from the Facebook comment section without using third-party software, you can try the built-in browser developer tools. This method works in Chrome, Edge, and most modern browsers.

This method should only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes, such as saving a video you or your friends uploaded. Downloading copyrighted content without permission may violate Facebook's policies.

Here's the video guide and step-by-step text content below:

Step 1. Open the Facebook post and scroll to the comment that contains the video you want to keep.

Step 2. Right-click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect (or press F12 on your keyboard). This will open the developer tools.

Step 3. Go to the Network tab. If it asks to record data, refresh the page (Ctrl + R).

Step 4. In the filter bar, type mp4 to quickly find video files.

Step 5. Play the target video in the comment section for a few seconds. The corresponding video file will appear in the list.

Step 6. Right-click on the video file, and then choose Copy > Copy URL.

Step 7. Paste the URL into a new browser tab. The video will open in full. You can then right-click and save it to your device.

Additional Tested But Failed Solutions (for Your Reference Only)

These Facebook video download methods used to be popular in online communities and how-to articles, but they no longer work. I'm listing them here so you don't waste your time trying them.

The results may vary due to tested environment, device, region or other factors. The following conclusions are for reference only.

Use Developer Tools on PC-Defunct

As of June 4, 2025, this method is no longer functional.

Facebook has made video downloading harder by encrypting content with DRM, breaking videos into small chunks, and hiding or expiring the video links, so you can no longer find a clear .mp4 file in the Network tab.

Step 1. Right-click the video in the comment box and select "Inspect."

Step 2. Access the "Network" tab, press "Ctrl + R" to refresh the page, and enter MP4 into the filter. Meanwhile, click the video in the comment on the left side of your screen and play it. Then, you can see the available video.

Step 3. Double-click on the video, and it will show on a new page. Click the three dots to download Facebook videos.

Use Opera Mini-Defunct

As of June 4, 2025, this method is no longer functional.

Opera Mini is a lightweight mobile web browser for Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, etc. You can also use the tool to download Facebook videos. But now it won't work any more.

Step 1. Log into your Facebook account on your mobile and copy its link. Install Opera Mini and open it. Log into the app again and access the copied link.

Step 2. Tap the video and select "Download" from the pop-up window.

Use the Facebook App on Android/iPhone

As of June 4, 2025, this method is no longer functional.

You can open the Facebook app on your iOS or Android devices to download the video directly to your device for offline viewing.

Here's how to download Facebook videos on Android and iPhone:

Step 1. Open Facebook on your mobile browser (Chrome recommended) and access the comment. I cannot access the Facebook video in the comment box now.

Step 2. Double-tap the video, press, and hold it.

Step 3. Click "Download video."

Use yt-dlp GUI Stacher

Satcher is a simple and free GUI for the powerful command-line tool yt-dlp. However, when I pasted a Facebook comment video link into the tool, it failed to download the video.
