Which Facebook videos this works on

dlyt.io downloads Facebook videos that are publicly accessible — anything you can watch in an incognito window without logging in. That includes regular posts, Reels, Watch videos, and the recorded VODs that remain after a Facebook Live broadcast ends.

Facebook serves the same video at multiple bitrates depending on the viewer's network conditions. dlyt.io exposes both an HD track (typically 720p or 1080p depending on the upload) and an SD fallback (typically 360p) so you can choose between file size and quality.

URL formats we accept

  • Permalink posthttps://www.facebook.com/USERNAME/videos/VIDEO_ID — the canonical link you get from "Copy link".
  • fb.watch short linkhttps://fb.watch/CODE — the share-sheet short link Meta generates for mobile shares.
  • Reelshttps://www.facebook.com/reel/REEL_ID — vertical short-form video.
  • Watch videohttps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=VIDEO_ID — videos surfaced through the Facebook Watch product.

Recording a Facebook Live archive

When a Facebook Live broadcast ends, Facebook automatically converts the stream into a regular video post on the broadcaster's wall. Once that post appears, dlyt.io can fetch the full recording in the same way as any other Facebook video. You cannot, however, download a stream while it is still airing — the manifest is rotating per-viewer and is not a stable download target.

What is not supported

  • Private and group-restricted postsAnything that requires being a friend, a group member, or an authenticated viewer cannot be downloaded.
  • Facebook StoriesStories are ephemeral, account-bound and require a logged-in viewer.
  • Live broadcasts in progressWait for the broadcast to end and use the resulting recorded post.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Paste the Facebook Reel URL and download it as MP4 in HD quality. Reels are saved with the original audio track intact.

After the Live stream ends, Facebook automatically posts the recording. Copy that recorded post's URL and paste it into dlyt.io — currently airing streams cannot be downloaded, only post-broadcast VODs.

Yes. Both regular facebook.com video URLs and fb.watch share short links resolve correctly.

No. Only videos that are publicly accessible without a Facebook login can be downloaded. Videos restricted to friends, groups, or specific lists require an authenticated session that dlyt.io does not maintain.

Stories disappear after 24 hours and require a logged-in viewer, so they are not supported by the public downloader.

Yes, if the group is public. Videos posted in closed or secret groups are private and cannot be reached.
