Videos, Reels, Watch links, fb.watch short links, and Live replays all work, as long as the post is public.
Scrivi reads the caption track when there is one. Videos without captions are transcribed from the audio on paid plans.
The AI summary lists an overview, key points, chapters, topics, and action items when the video contains advice.
Copy the video's link from your browser or from the Share menu in the Facebook app. Paste it into Scrivi and click Transcribe. Scrivi locates the video, gets the spoken content as text, and shows the full transcript. Click Summarize, and the AI reads the whole transcript and writes the summary.
That covers the questions people usually ask an assistant about Facebook video: "is there an AI that can summarize a Facebook video?" and "can I get a transcript and an analysis from a Facebook video URL?" Yes, from the link alone, without downloading the video or logging in to Facebook.
Every summary uses the same structure, which makes a 45-minute Live replay as easy to skim as a 30-second Reel.
Facebook videos come in two kinds. Some carry a caption track, auto-generated by Facebook or added by the page. For those, the transcript arrives in seconds, and both the transcript and the summary work on the free plan: 20 caption transcriptions and 3 AI summaries a day, no credit card.
Many Facebook videos have no captions, though. Reels, quick phone uploads, and Live replays without captioning switched on are common examples. For those, Scrivi transcribes the audio with speech-to-text, which handles videos up to 3 hours. Audio transcription is part of the $2.99 Day Pass (24 hours of Pro) and the Pro plan. Scrivi tells you up front when a video needs that path, so you don't end up with an empty result.
Be prepared for the paid path on Facebook more often than on YouTube. If you summarize Facebook videos regularly, the Day Pass is the cheapest way to test it on a real workload before you decide on Pro.
Scrivi reads the public video page. Anything you can watch without logging in to Facebook works.
Facebook is where a lot of local and community video lives. These are the jobs people bring most often.
Paid plans (Day Pass, Pro, Lifetime) add Ask AI for your own questions about the video, such as "what dates were mentioned?" or "what did the speaker say about the budget?". They also add batch transcription of up to 10 links at once, collections to keep related videos together, research reports that combine 2 to 5 transcripts into one document with themes and insights, and export as PDF, .txt, or .md.
On the free plan you can read the full transcript and the summary in your dashboard and copy any part of the text.
Facebook Live replays are often long and loosely structured: a welcome, a few minutes of waiting for viewers, the actual content, then questions from the comments. The summary cuts through that. The chapters show where the substance starts and ends, the key points list what was actually said, and the action items collect any deadlines, dates, or next steps that were announced.
A simple workflow for a recurring stream, such as a weekly council meeting or a team update posted to a page: paste the replay link after each session, read the overview and the action items, and keep the transcripts in one collection. When you need to know when something was first mentioned, search across all of them instead of rewatching weeks of video.
For analysis work across many public videos, such as tracking how a topic is discussed by several pages, the research report is the step after the summary. It reads 2 to 5 transcripts together and returns the shared themes, the points where sources agree, and where they differ.
The transcript stays in the language spoken in the video. The summary language is your choice: pick one of 16 languages in Settings, or keep the system default. Saved transcripts and summaries are private to your account and can be deleted at any time.
Every summary has an overview, key points, chapters with short descriptions, and topics, so you can skim a long Live in a minute.
The summary is written from what was actually said in the video, not from the post text or the title.
On paid plans, Ask AI answers specific questions about the video, such as what was said about a date or a price.
