Summary

Facebook closed groups don't let users download or share video content from them. It's sometimes annoying when you are browsing through meme Facebook groups, and you see a funny video that you would like to share with a friend... but you can't. Exactly that case pushed me to create the Video Share extension that lets you download or get a sharable link to any video in any closed Facebook group.

How to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4ZawItBJow

IMPORTANT! After installing the extension, you should restart your browser or at least browser tab.

For your information:

  1. Facebook video URL expires after a few hours, and you won't be able to watch the video from that link anymore. However, you can generate a new one and share it again.

  2. The extension only supports downloading videos from closed Facebook groups right now. However, I might extend the functionality to support more cases in the future.

  3. If you find any bug, let me know by creating an issue in my GitHub repo. I will be happy to help you :) Link: https://github.com/mdrazyk/video_share/issues
