BRAKING: If you used Facebook to live stream you have limited number days to save your recoding’s or else they will be deleted. 


In an email sent (see below) to anyone who used Facebook to live stream, Facebook or Meta has announced that upcoming changes to how live videos are stored, when this will go into effect and what you need to do if you wish to keep your live recoding’s.

Starting on February 19 of 2025 you will have thirty (30) days to download your live stream or else after they will be deleted. 

Memorialized account: On Facebook or Meta, they says “Live videos from memorialized accounts are not subject to this policy.”

It is not clear if this will apply to videos that are uploaded to Facebook, images you have uploaded to Facebook are NOT affected by this policy change. Get the official news release from Facebook about this change at: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1005165994166600.

The email reads:

Download your old Facebook Live videos by <date>.
We are sending you this email because your <name here > previously broadcasted a Facebook Live video.
Facebook is rolling out changes to its storage policy for Facebook Live videos. Starting February 19, Facebook Live videos will be retained for 30 days by default on your Facebook Page or profile, during which you can view, delete, or download the video. After 30 days, you will no longer be able to access your Live videos and they will automatically be removed from your Page and deleted from our servers.
As part of this transition, Facebook Live videos older than 30 days will be deleted. We want to make sure you have the opportunity to keep any Live videos you published, so any Live videos published before February 19 will be made available for you to download until <date>. After that, any existing Live videos published before February 19 will be deleted from your Page or profile. Visit your Facebook settings to view your options for downloading Live videos.
