Facebook to delete live videos after 30 days in major update2025-02-19 14:49 by DanielaTags: Facebook
The social network is imposing a 30-day time limit on how long live videos can remain on Facebook. Once the threshold is crossed, the clips will be automatically deleted. Previously, live videos were stored indefinitely on Facebook. The new policy takes effect on Feb. 19, although the first video deletions won't happen for a few months. "Before your archival live videos are deleted, you will be notified by email and in the app, and from then you'll have 90 days to download or transfer your content," Facebook says. Facebook notes that if users need more time to download their old live videos, they can choose to defer deletion for six months. If they don't make a choice after that period, their old live videos will be removed and they won't be able to access them. Meta-owned Facebook says "most live video views occur within the first few weeks of broadcasting," so clearing out the videos will cut down on server and storage costs. Read more -here-
