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.
When not to worry you still have few options that you can recover or recreate your deleted Look Back video of Facebook profile using a few browser tricks.
Now first of all we are going to show you the trick for 3 browsers. It will support on Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. If you are using Safari you can just follow any of the steps it will be similar.
Remember: if you already deleted your browser cache/history, the tricks won't work for you.

Now right click on the video and start downloading it. After download is complete you can upload it to your Facebook.
