Good to know about Facebook videos
- Videos in private groups and friends-only posts need a login, so they can't be fetched. Download or screen-record the video and upload the file.
- Meta may show an “AI info” label on Facebook too, but most AI videos don't carry one.
- Videos of famous people recommending an investment or trading app are a common deepfake scam.

Questions
- A celebrity is promoting an investment in a Facebook video. Is it real?
- Treat it as a scam until proven otherwise. Check the video here, then look at the person's official accounts: well-known people rarely promote trading apps, and scammers copy their faces and voices to make it look like they do.
- Can it check Facebook Live videos?
- Only after the live video ends and is saved. Then paste its link or upload a clip.
