What movie is this Facebook video from?
To find the movie in a Facebook video or Reel, tap Share under it, then Copy link and paste it in the box on this page. Trace names the film or show, the moment the clip comes from when it can find it, and where it is streaming in your country.
If Facebook will not hand the video over, save it and upload it in the Trace app.
Free. Share a clip from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or X straight to Trace, or upload one saved on your phone. The box below takes links; uploads need the app.

How to find a movie from a Facebook video
- 1
Tap Share under the video
On a Reel the share arrow is on the right side.
- 2
Copy link
It is in the share menu. Links from facebook.com and fb.watch both work.
- 3
Paste it here
Paste the link in the box on this page. If it fails, save the video and upload it in the app.
A film clip shared in a group
Groups and pages repost film scenes with a caption like "name this movie". Copy the link from the post's share menu and paste it above.
You get the title, the moment, and where to watch. Videos posted in private groups usually cannot be opened from their link, so for those the upload in the app is the way in.
When a Facebook video will not work
Facebook sometimes refuses to hand videos over, and Trace says so when that happens. Videos in private groups, or from profiles that only share with friends, cannot be opened from their link at all. Upload a saved copy in the app instead.
Questions
Does it work on Facebook Reels?
Yes. Copy the Reel's link from its share menu and paste it here.
Why did my Facebook link fail?
The video may be private, or Facebook may be refusing requests for a while. Uploading the video in the app still works.
Do fb.watch links work?
Yes. Both fb.watch and facebook.com links work for public videos.
