Effective February 19th 2025, Facebook Live videos will only be retained only for 30 days on your Facebook Page or profile before they are permanently deleted.

Stay ahead of the curve

Social Media Platforms have a history of deleting videos, freezing accounts, and making huge life-altering changes with zero warning. It was exactly this time last year Facebook dropped support for Live Streaming to Groups, and in June live streaming limited to profiles with 100+ followers.

Businesses – Reach out to your customers – email them, call them. This is a rare opportunity to secure growth.

Creators – Download your videos – Store a backup locally and talk to your hosting provider about how to publish videos directly to your website.
