There are many reasons why you want to record Facebook video or voice calls on Windows PC, Mac, iPhone or Android devices. Since Facebook doesn't offer built-in video call recording feature on its Messenger app or its web version, to record videos of Facebook calls, you need a dedicated Facebook video call recorder.
