How To Save Them? Facebook Live Videos Will Be Deleted After Only 30 Days
In a recent publication made on its website, Facebook announced that it is updating its Live Video storage policy, reducing the retention period for broadcasts. Starting February 19, live videos will be stored for only 30 days before being automatically deleted—Previously, these videos were stored indefinitely.
Key Changes:
- Live videos can be replayed, downloaded, or shared for 30 days before removal.
- Existing live videos older than 30 days will be deleted in phases over the coming months.
- Users will receive notifications before their videos are deleted and have 90 days to take action.
- Options to save videos include downloading, transferring to cloud storage, or converting to reels.
