How to fix recover your deleted Look Back Video on Facebook and share it.



This week Facebook introduced Look Back a slideshow of your Facebook past video with a very nice background music but for some reasons many users have tried to edit the video and accidentally  the video has been deleted from your LookBack page. Now whenever you visit the page of look back video, it does not appear on the screen. So it is very annoying that Facebook didn't give the option that you can easily recreate or edit your video and if somehow it is deleted you can recover it.

Step 4: Now on the search box type/copy https://lookback and press Enter.
Step 5: Go through the ones that match and ONLY click on the links that are HUGE, like over 1 million bytes. I say ONLY, because it can be a long process....once you think you've found it, click the link in the page that opens and your video should appear. Now right click on the video and start downloading it. After download is complete you can upload it to your Facebook.
