Hubspot Guide: How to Download Facebook Videos
Many marketers who rely on Hubspot for content strategy also need clear, safe ways to download Facebook videos for inspiration, research, or reporting. This guide walks you step by step through multiple methods, tools, and best practices so you can save videos quickly while staying on the right side of Facebook’s policies.
Before You Start: Legal & Ethical Basics for Hubspot Users
Before downloading any social media content, it is important to understand what is allowed. Even if you manage campaigns with Hubspot or other platforms, you still must respect Facebook’s terms of service and copyright rules.
- Only download videos you own, manage, or have explicit permission to save.
- Do not re-upload copyrighted content as your own.
- Always credit the original creator if you reuse clips, even in internal presentations.
- For ads, client work, and reports, keep copies in secure internal folders.
Use these methods primarily for:
- Backing up your own brand page videos.
- Saving competitor examples for internal swipe files.
- Collecting content ideas for Hubspot-powered campaigns.
- Training marketing teams with real-world creative examples.
Method 1: Downloading Your Own Facebook Page Videos with Hubspot Workflow Support
If you manage a business page, you can download the original files directly from Facebook. This works well when you want to re-edit content, archive campaigns, or align assets with your Hubspot content library.
Step-by-Step: Downloading From Your Facebook Page
-
Log in to Facebook.
Use the account that has admin or editor access to your page. -
Open your Facebook Page.
Go to the page that hosts the video you want to save. -
Navigate to the Videos section.
Click on the tab labeled Videos or Reels, depending on your layout. -
Select the video.
Open the specific video post you want to download. -
Click the three-dot menu.
Look for the options icon (usually in the upper-right corner of the post or player). -
Choose “Download video.”
If you see a direct download option, click it and the file will save to your device.
If no direct option appears, your video may be an older upload, a live replay, or a format Facebook does not allow for direct download. In that case, use one of the alternative methods below, then organize the file in your Hubspot content or asset management system.
Method 2: Using the Facebook Video URL with Hubspot-Friendly Tools
When a direct download button is not visible, you can still save videos by copying their URL and using third-party tools. This is common when marketers want to archive competitor content or inspiration for internal Hubspot campaign planning.
How to Copy a Facebook Video URL on Desktop
-
Open the video post.
Click on the video so it opens in its own window or player. -
Copy the address.
In your browser’s address bar, highlight the full URL and copy it (Ctrl+C or Command+C). -
Check for public access.
The post should be set to public; private or restricted posts usually cannot be downloaded by external tools.
How to Copy a Facebook Video Link on Mobile
-
Open the Facebook app.
-
Find the video.
Tap the post to open it. -
Tap the share or three-dot icon.
-
Select “Copy link.”
The URL is now in your clipboard and can be pasted into a downloader or shared with your Hubspot-using teammates.
Method 3: Online Download Websites (Use Carefully with Hubspot Processes)
There are many websites that let you paste a Facebook URL and download the video. While Hubspot does not provide its own video downloader, you can safely integrate results from these services into your marketing workflows if you proceed carefully.
Typical Steps with Online Downloaders
-
Copy the video URL as explained above.
-
Open a trusted download site.
Search for a well-reviewed Facebook video downloader that supports HTTPS and avoids aggressive pop-ups. -
Paste the URL.
Use the input field on the site and submit. -
Choose video quality.
Select from options like SD or HD, depending on your needs for Hubspot reports or presentations. -
Download the file.
Click the download button and save the video to your device.
After downloading, upload the video to your internal drive or asset manager and reference it in your Hubspot notes, tasks, or campaign documentation rather than reposting it publicly.
Method 4: Browser Extensions for Teams Working with Hubspot
Browser extensions can speed up the process if your role requires frequent downloads for analysis or training.
Using Extensions on Chrome or Edge
-
Search the extension store.
Look for Facebook video downloader extensions with strong ratings and recent updates. -
Install the extension.
Follow the prompts and grant only minimal permissions. -
Open Facebook and play a video.
-
Click the extension icon.
It should detect the video and show available download options. -
Download and save.
Store the file in organized folders that align with your Hubspot campaign or content calendar.
Always confirm that your company’s IT and security policies allow these extensions before adoption.
Downloading Facebook Live Replays for Hubspot Reporting
Facebook Live videos can be especially valuable when you want to analyze engagement or reuse segments in future campaigns managed through Hubspot.
Steps for Live Replays You Own
-
Go to your page or profile.
-
Open the Live replay.
Find it in your Videos or Live tab. -
Click the three-dot menu.
-
Select “Download” if available.
If the option is missing, treat it like a regular video and try a URL-based downloader. Then you can clip highlights, create short teasers, and track performance within your Hubspot reporting framework.
Best Practices for Organizing Downloaded Videos with Hubspot
Downloading is only the first step. For ongoing campaigns, training, and audits, organization matters just as much.
- Create clear folders.
Separate assets into categories such as Competitor Examples, Owned Content, and Inspiration. - Use consistent file names.
Include brand name, date, platform, and campaign tag to match your Hubspot naming conventions. - Document usage rights.
Add a note or text file that states whether a clip is internal-only or cleared for editing and reuse. - Align with your content calendar.
Link stored videos to matching ideas, workflows, or tasks inside Hubspot.
