How to Screen Record Facebook Story without Them Knowing?

Generally speaking, recording others' Facebook stories is not recommended, and it's hard to distinguish right and wrong behaviors. If you record someone's Facebook story and re-create it as yours, you break and disrespect the creators' privacy, which is illegal. If you record some interesting stories for fun or educational videos for kids, it's not illegal. You can also use these stories to protect your loved ones from social threats, child abuse, etc. In most cases, the safest way to record a video on Facebook story is to ask the video holder for permission.

Screen recording software is necessary to record Facebook stories. I'd recommend you use WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro, an HD screen recorder for PC. It can capture any activity on your screen, such as Facebook stories, YouTube live streams, TV programmes, game clips, video calls, etc. It allows you to record only part of the screen or the entire screen of your computer and offers flexible options for recording format, quality, frame rate, and audio source. As the interface is pretty simple, even novices can handle the software without hassles.
