The platform has implemented a new policy that reduces the storage time of live videos, aligning with current industry standards. According to the announcement published on their website, any live broadcast video posted on profiles or pages will only be available for playback, download, or sharing for 30 days. Users will receive notifications before their videos are deleted, with a 90-day period to decide whether they want to keep them.
Bulk download: Select multiple videos to download them to your device or computer. Cloud transfer: Save your videos in services like Google Drive or Dropbox to free up space on your devices. Conversion to Reels: Transform short clips of your broadcasts into videos to share them again on your profile.
"Need more time? Facebook also offers the option to postpone deletion for an additional six months. You just need to follow the instructions in the notification and select the 'Postpone deletion' option." This change reflects Facebook's commitment to more efficient content management, prioritizing fresh and relevant experiences for users. This measure also optimizes storage capacity and improves content management.
The deletion of old videos will not be immediate, but will occur gradually over the coming months. If you are someone who enjoys streaming live videos on Facebook, this update is of interest to you. After this period, the content will be automatically deleted from the social network. Previously, live videos were stored indefinitely. However, Facebook seeks to provide a more dynamic experience, as the majority of views occur in the first weeks after the broadcast.
