How to download Facebook group closed video to computer

To download videos on a closed Facebook group to a computer, we cannot use support tools such as getlink or use extensions installed in the browser.

Most of you know how to download videos in public groups and accounts, but very few people know how to download videos on closed groups, because Facebook's policy prohibits downloading to protect community and individual privacy.

Therefore, in the article below, I will share with you a few tips to overcome these obstacles and download easily, which can be applied to the livestream video.
