Do Facebook video downloaders work for live-streamed videos?

Yes, Facebook video downloaders can save live-streamed videos, but only after the stream has ended and been published on the page or profile. Once available as a regular video post, you can copy its link and use a downloader to save it. However, downloading while a live video is still streaming usually isn't supported. The quality depends on how the original video was uploaded. For the best results, wait until the live stream finishes and is processed in HD. Using a trusted downloader ensures you can safely capture and keep live videos to rewatch offline.

Oh, that actually clears things up for me. I always thought I was doing something wrong when I couldn't download a live stream while it was running. I've used a Facebook Video Downloader before, and it only worked once the live was saved as a regular post. Now it makes sense, and I agree—it's better to wait since the video usually comes out in HD after being processed.
