"Watching Facebook videos on a large Windows 11 monitor is a great experience, but the inability to save these videos for presentations, offline viewing, or local archival is a major limitation for desktop users. Many people resort to 'Browser Extensions' that are often riddled with tracking scripts or 'Screen Recording' which captures mouse cursors and UI overlays. In 2026, the cleanest way to archive high-resolution Facebook content on a PC is through a professional extraction bridge. This 2500-word tutorial provides the exact steps for Windows 11 users to use Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome to save Facebook videos in their purest form."
