Many valuable webinars, community tutorials, and family videos are shared inside closed Facebook groups or private profiles. Because these videos are protected behind Facebook’s login gate, generic downloaders fail and display error messages. Fortunately, there is a completely safe, password-free way to download them.
By using the browser Page Source method (Ctrl+U on Windows, Cmd+Option+U on Mac), your browser provides the signed temporary stream link that Facebook already authorized for your account. You simply paste this source code into FDownloader, and our parser extracts the full HD video without storing any cookies or credentials.
How to save private group videos:
- 1Open the private video in a computer browser where you have permission to view it.
- 2Press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Cmd+Option+U (Mac) to view the page source code.
- 3Press Ctrl+A to select all and Ctrl+C to copy the code.
- 4Switch to FDownloader, click the "Stories & Private Video (Ctrl+U)" tab, paste the source and click Download.
