Common questions
Which Facebook guide should I use?
Use the mobile guide for the Facebook app, the Watch guide for facebook.com or fb.watch videos, and the Reels guide for facebook.com/reel URLs.
Do private or group videos work?
No. The post must be public. Login-only, friends-only, or group-restricted videos cannot be copied for download.
fb.watch or facebook.com/watch — which should I copy?
Either works when the video is public. Share → Copy link may give a short fb.watch URL or a full watch/?v= link — paste whichever your app provides.
Watch videos vs Facebook Reels?
Long uploads use fb.watch or facebook.com/watch/?v=. Reels use facebook.com/reel/…. Use the Watch guide or Reels guide to match your URL shape.
Do Facebook Story /stories/ links work?
Usually no on the paste field today. See the Facebook Story downloader for honest limits — fb.watch and /reel/ URLs from Share may work on our Video or Reels tools instead.
How does SMDownloader fetch Facebook video?
Paste a public watch, reel, or Page post URL on www.smdownloader.com; our servers resolve it through /api/extract. You preview and save in your browser.
Where is the Facebook video downloader?
After you copy the link, paste on www.smdownloader.com or open /platforms/facebook for Video, Reels, and Story downloader tools.
