How to view Facebook Stories on Desktop and save any Facebook Story to your computer

The feature is very simple and it is a convenient way to keep your friends and family updated when you are on holidays or want to share a special occasion with them. Previously, it was only possible to see Facebook Stories on the Facebook mobile app. However, it is now available on the desktop version and there is a Chrome extension called “FB Story for Google Chrome”, which allows you not only to see the Stories, but also to save them to your computer.

With this convenient extension, Chrome users can see Facebook Stories on your desktop. In addition, it is possible to see how many people have seen your story or the stories posted by your friends. It works in the same way when you watch Facebook Stories on Android or iPhone, but the difference is that it is not possible to post comments when you use the extension. Apart from that, the extension works very well when it comes to seeing Facebook Stories on desktop.

Although now it is possible to see Facebook Stories on your desktop without using an extension, some people may still want to use it to save the stories. If not, you can simply access your Facebook feed and see the list of FB stories on the right side. You just need to click on a story to start playing it. It is also possible to right-click to save an image the appears in the Facebook story, but you can’t download the story as a video to play it at a later stage. This feature may be added soon, after all, the option to see FB stories in the desktop version was only launched recently.
