**Meta’s Updated Policy Will Remove Facebook Live Videos After 30 Days**

Meta has unveiled an important adjustment to its policy regarding Facebook Live streams, leading to the removal of numerous videos.

In a blog announcement made on Tuesday, the company disclosed that all Facebook Live videos will now be retained on a user’s profile or page for just 30 days before being automatically deleted. This new guideline will take effect starting Wednesday, February 19.

Nevertheless, live videos that are older than 30 days will not be deleted right away. Users will be alerted through email and notifications in the app prior to their archived live videos being removed. After that, they will have a window of 90 days to download or transfer their content. Meta also indicated that it is rolling out new tools to facilitate the process of downloading previous live videos.

### How to Preserve Your Live Videos

If you wish to retain your live videos, there are several methods available:

– Download them individually or in bulk to your personal device.
– Move them to cloud storage.
– Transform them into a new Reel.

### What Is the Reason Behind Meta’s Change?

Meta has not given a specific rationale for this policy adjustment, but it occurs at a moment when the company is intensely concentrating on vertical videos and Reels. Urging users to convert their live videos into Reels—rather than risk their removal—might be interpreted as a strategic initiative to encourage more content in its favored format.
