I'm presuming others dealing with this (email from Facebook below) as well. I'm curious what folks are doing for migrating video library out of Facebook?
Fortunately, I started locally recording most of our livestream videos early on, so I have much higher quality than livestream bitrate for vast majority of our videos... and uploading TBs of videos will take a few days, but is otherwise tedious but doable. I'll download any videos I'm missing (recognizing the quality won't be that good, but so be it)
But,
- What are folks doing in regarding to FB livestream comments? just accept losing them, or ??
- new video publish date will be many years after actually livestream... just on other platform.. Is there a way to back date a video? or what is the recommended approach for this?
any other gotchas to consider?

Download your old Facebook Live videos by June 21 before they are no longer available.
We are sending you this email because your Page [..snip..] previously broadcasted a Facebook Live video.
Facebook is rolling out changes to its storage policy for Facebook Live videos. Starting February 19, Facebook Live videos will be retained for 30 days by default on your Facebook Page or profile, during which you can view, delete, or download the video. After 30 days, you will no longer be able to access your Live videos and they will automatically be removed from your Page and deleted from our servers.
As part of this transition, Facebook Live videos older than 30 days will be deleted. We want to make sure you have the opportunity to keep any Live videos you published, so any Live videos published before February 19 will be made available for you to download until June 21. After that, any existing Live videos published before February 19 will be deleted from your Page or profile. Visit your Facebook settings to view your options for downloading Live videos.
