Tonight I was helping my aunt and uncle work on a memorial video for my uncle’s mom’s funeral. They had sent me lots of pictures and videos, but there were some videos on Facebook messenger that I could not figure out how to save. Some videos did give me the download or save as option when I clicked on them or right clicked on them, but some didn’t give me either option.
So of course, if I can’t figure something out, I go to Google, and it usually has the answer for you summarized right below your question.
This is what worked for me… right click on the video to get the video URL, copy it. Open a new tab in your browser, paste the url, change the www. to mbasic. then click enter, you should see the video you want, click on the video so that it will open the video in a new page, click on play, then right click on the video and you’ll be able to “save video as” to your computer.
Hope this works for you! We were able to add a couple of really cool videos of his mom to be included in the slideshow.
