Use this interactive demo to learn how to save a Facebook Live video and publish it on YouTube.

Quick summary

This guide shows you how to download a Facebook Live video and upload it to YouTube Studio so your live content reaches a broader audience. Follow the step-by-step walkthrough to go from your Facebook profile to a published YouTube video in minutes.


Steps

  1. Go to your Facebook profile or page and locate the Live video you want to upload.
  2. Open the Live video, click the three-dot menu icon on the post, and select Download video to save it to your computer.
  3. Go to studio.youtube.com, sign in, and click Create > Upload videos in the top right corner.
  4. Click Select files and choose the downloaded Facebook Live video from your computer.
  5. Enter a title for the video, such as a descriptive name for your live recording.
  6. Add a description, tags, and thumbnail as needed.
  7. Set the visibility to Public, Unlisted, or Private, then click Save to publish or schedule the video.

📌 Why this matters

Repurposing Facebook Live recordings on YouTube lets creators and businesses extend the life and reach of their live content across the world's largest video platform. YouTube's search and recommendation engine gives archived live videos long-term discoverability that Facebook's feed-based algorithm cannot match. By cross-posting live streams, brands can grow their YouTube subscriber base, improve SEO with video content, and ensure audiences who missed the live broadcast can still engage. This workflow is especially valuable for marketers, educators, and businesses that regularly host Facebook Live events and want to maximize content ROI.
