Customers on Facebook can now expect their live broadcasts to erase themselves after their streaming duration surpasses thirty days. Users obtain removal alerts that offer 90 days to choose what will happen to their previous material right before video removal. The users can execute various actions on the videos such as device download or cloud storage transfer or new Reel creation through their TechCrunch article.
Facebook states on its blog that storage policy adjustments will bring industry standards to match their delivery of current live streaming capabilities to Facebook users.
In terms of video storage duration Facebook's main competition Twitch gives 60 days to subscribed users but establishes a 14-day period for basic users.
YouTube allows users to keep their live broadcast videos without limits through conversion to regular videos unless users specifically prevent the archive process.
Users need to select the "defer deletion" option to keep their live videos for six months before Facebook starts the deletion process where the videos become inaccessible.
Users now have a new Facebook tool which enables them to save their previously broadcasted live videos. Users can upload their videos in bulk through the “Upload Live Videos” option which connects with their cloud storage providers including Dropbox or Google Drive based on TechCrunch report.
Facebook brought this update to support the "Reels" service because users showed a preference of migrating specific live-video moments to "Reel" clips for their personal page use.
