How to download and save Facebook look back video

Hi All,

Facebook has presented the feature of creating a look back video.

If you want to download this video then you have to follow the below steps.

1. You should have Google Chrome install in your computer.
2. Open your facebook look back video or login to facebook and click on https://www.facebook.com/lookback/ in google chrome and press Ctlr+Shift+J key.
3. Now Copy the below code and paste in the window which is coming after step 2 then Hit Enter.

var xmlhttp;

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

} else {

xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
ss = xmlhttp.responseText.split('[["params","')[1].split('"],["width","960"]')[0];
var x = ss;
var r = /\\u([\d\w]{4})/gi;
x = x.replace(r, function (match, grp) {return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(grp, 16)); });
x = unescape(x);
console.log(JSON.parse(x).video_data[0].hd_src);
prompt("Here's your video URL (HD)! Press Ctrl + C to copy it!", JSON.parse(x).video_data[0].hd_src)
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", "/lookback", true);
xmlhttp.send();
4. Now one popup will come with the url. Copy that url and paste it into new tab.
5. Now Hit Ctrl + S and save the video.
Thanks,
RS

    1. This no longer works as Facebook has shut down the developer console access for now.

      Facebook has also changed it. So that videos are saved to your video album. You can download it like any other Facebook video. Article on how to do this will follow soon.
