    Hi penchax,

    So, if you downloaded your Facebook data, the folder usually contains a video file (like .mp4). Open it with VLC or your player, and you’re good.

    If it’s just the “Save” button on Facebook, the video isn’t actually on your computer; it’s in your “Saved” on the site.

    If it’s a zip/rar, you need to extract it first.

    Hello.

    Is this directory called "Facebook Files"?

    Hypothetical situation of what you did:

    1/ You opened the video on FB
    2/ You right-clicked with the mouse
    3/ You clicked "Save as" and chose a destination directory
    4/ By looking in this directory, you found nothing, which is normal.

    The solution allowing a Facebook video to be downloaded to your computer only concerns videos for which you potentially have the owner's permission to download, or if it is one of your own videos.
