Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. It’s a great way to keep up with your loved ones and enjoy great content, like photos and videos, too. Sometimes you want to share a video you found on Facebook, but your contacts aren’t able to see it, perhaps because they are not friends with the video owner, or maybe they don’t have a Facebook account.

The best way to show them the video, in this case, is by manually sending it to them via WhatsApp. Here’s how to share Facebook video on WhatsApp using Android, iPhone, and PC. 

4 Ways To Manually Share A Facebook Video On WhatsApp

Using Video Proc On PC

Video Proc is a one-stop video processing program that allows you to edit, convert, resize videos, audio files, and even DVDs. Here’s our in-depth Video Proc review in case you’re interested in learning more. 

Video Proc offers a Lifetime License for $37.95. In addition to this, it also has a 1 year and a Family License, as well. 

For this tutorial, I used Video Proc’s free version, which has limited functionality but works great for smaller tasks, such as downloading Facebook videos. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Download and install Video Proc on your computer. 
  2. After you’ve installed Video Proc, open it and select the Downloader option.

Using Getfbstuff.com Private Downloader On PC

Sometimes the best Facebook videos are private, so you can’t share them using a link or download them using the methods I mentioned above. 

No worries, there are loads of websites out there that allow you to download private Facebook videos. I’ll be using Getfbstuff.com’s Private Video Downloader

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Copy the link of the private Facebook video you want to download and go to  Getfbstuff.com Private Video Downloader. Paste the link in the step 1 field and click the “Get Video” button below.

That’s How To Share Facebook Video On WhatsApp

So, what’d you think?

Honestly, Facebook is often considered an abandoned social media app by the younger generation, but it’s still a source of some hilarious as well as thought-provoking videos. Even if you aren’t on the platform, you can still appreciate some of its more quality content. 

There are a number of ways to download and share Facebook videos to WhatsApp, but I found these to be the easiest, and they’re free too. Even Video Proc, which has a paid option, is honestly one of the best downloaders out there because you can use it to edit and convert your video too. 

If you’re curious, I’ve also got a great guide on sharing Instagram photos on WhatsApp as well as how to update your WhatsApp status. 

Thanks again for reading, and be sure to share with your friends and family!
