How do I download a video?
We’re glad you like using FMB.TV, but we do not regularly provide digital copies of our videos because they could be edited or altered or used without permission and it violates our copyright.
To display or share our videos somewhere like a kiosk or a trade show, we offer full screen and looping options in the player controls.
If you are an external audience member, you will need to have an appropriate Ford Meter Box team member provide authorized copies. Only Internal audience members are permitted to download digital copies of our programs.
Users who are Signed In will find downloading and other sharing options below the player window. Choose the Download link and then choose the desired quality for download. Choose 1080p for most digital presentation platforms and compatibility. Choose Original for High-end uses in full 4K resolution. Some browser settings will override the download link and play the video in a new window instead of initiating a download. If your browser is configured this way, you can right-click the download link or right-click the newly opened video in your Chrome browser and select "save as." Chrome users will also find download options in the three-dot menu at the bottom right of the newly opened video window.
Can I get an Embed Code for videos?
Embed codes can be found below the left corner of the video display window. Select the Embed icon, then copy the fixed or responsive HTML embed code for use on your website.
How do I turn on Subtitles?
Subtitle functions depend on the player or browser you are using. Not all videos have subtitles, but most of our Installation Instructions do. If subtitles are available, you will see a square with CC in the lower right hand corner of the player controls. Click the CC to turn on subtitles in one of the languages available. If you do not see a CC in the lower right-hand corner, then that video does not have subtitles available at this time.
What languages are available in Subtitles?
If subtitles are available, you will see a square with CC in the lower right hand corner of the player controls. Only the languages listed are available for that video.
When I select a video to download, it plays in my browser instead of downloading?
Some browser settings will override the download link and play the video instead. If your browser is configured this way, you can right-click the download link, or right-click the video in your chrome browser and select "save-as".
