Facebook's live streaming service will be changed from indefinite storage to 30 days, and older videos will be forcibly deleted, so you will need to download them
Facebook has a live streaming feature, and the recorded video data can be viewed even after the live broadcast has ended. It has been revealed that the storage period for this video data will be changed from indefinitely to 30 days.
Updating Our Facebook Live Video Storage Policy | Meta
According to an announcement by Meta, which operates Facebook, the video data storage period for live streaming will be shortened to 30 days from February 19, 2025. Videos will be freely viewable, downloadable, and shareable until 30 days have passed, but they will be automatically deleted after 30 days.
In addition, the 'deletion of already posted videos' will be implemented in stages over the next few months. Users will be notified of the deletion of their videos, and the videos will be deleted 90 days after the notification is sent. Users can keep the videos by 'downloading the videos,' 'transferring the videos to cloud storage,' or ' creating a cut video and saving it as a reel .' Users can also postpone the deletion of videos for six months.
The notification about deleting a video looks like this. When you tap the notification, a special menu will appear.
A dedicated menu allows you to download videos in bulk and transfer them to cloud storage, including Google Drive and Dropbox.
You can also download individual videos from your profile page. First, tap the menu button on your profile page.
