Facebook video transcripts: what to expect
Facebook video transcript generator: paste a link
A public Facebook video or Reel link is all you need.
Facebook does not give viewers a transcript button for most videos. Copy the link from the Share menu, paste it above, and we transcribe the audio with timestamps.
My take: this is the quickest way to quote a public interview or turn a page's video into notes, without downloading the video first.
To remember: the video must be public. If you need to log in to watch it, a link cannot open it, so upload the file instead.
