On Facebook, we often come across interesting or valuable videos that we want to save for offline viewing. However, Facebook does not provide a direct download option.
So, how can you safely and quickly download Facebook videos on a Windows PC? This article will introduce several effective methods to help you easily save Facebook videos.
1. Using Browser Extensions
Using browser extensions is one of the common ways to download videos, but some websites may impose restrictions, preventing certain videos from being downloaded.
Installing the Extension
Open the Chrome browser and go to the Chrome Web Store (Edge users can visit the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store).
Search for a relevant video downloader extension and click "Add to Chrome".
