How it works

  1. Open shooff and paste the Facebook URL into the built-in browser (or drag it in).
  2. Play the video. shooff watches all network traffic and auto-detects the video stream — HLS, MP4, or DASH.
  3. Click "Add to Queue" when the stream card appears. shooff downloads in parallel (16 segments at once for HLS).
  4. Done. The video is saved to your encrypted library, playable anytime — even offline.
About Facebook: Open the video in shooff's browser. Works for public videos; private videos require being logged in.
