Missed a Facebook Live? Creators can leave the replay up as a regular video — and xi (apiproai.com) downloads those replays as MP4 files for offline viewing.
There are many ways to save Facebook Live replays — screen recording, browser extensions, third-party apps — but most come with trade-offs. Screen recordings lose quality and capture notifications and UI elements. Third-party apps often demand your Facebook login (a real account-theft risk), show aggressive ads, or quietly upload your contacts. Browser extensions can read everything you browse.
xi avoids all of that:
On iPhone (Safari): open xi at apiproai.com, paste the link and tap Download. When the file is ready, tap the download icon in Safari's address bar, open the file, then tap the Share button and choose Save Video (or Save Image) to move it into your Photos library.
On Android (Chrome): the process is even simpler — after tapping Download on xi, the file saves straight to your Downloads folder and appears in your gallery app automatically.
On desktop: paste the link into xi, click Download, and the file lands in your browser's download folder. From there you can rename it, move it, or import it into any video editor.
"No media found" or empty result: the most common cause is a private or deleted post. Copy a fresh link directly from the Facebook app (Share → Copy Link) rather than from a screenshot or a third-party site, and try again.
Download starts but never finishes: switch to a stable Wi-Fi connection and avoid VPNs that throttle traffic. Very long videos can take a minute or two to prepare — give it time before retrying.
Button doesn't respond on iPhone: make sure you're using Safari (not the in-app browser of another app). If the page seems stuck, pull down to refresh and paste the link again.
File won't play: MP4 and MP3 from xi play in every modern player. If your gallery app can't open it, try VLC — it's free and handles everything.
No — xi downloads the finished replay. For ongoing streams you'd need screen recording software.
Hour-long Lives at HD quality are naturally large (often 1GB+). Choose a lower quality if offered to shrink it.
Public replays, yes. Private-group or friends-only Lives, no.
No — only the video and audio. Comments aren't part of the media file.
