Yes Rob you’re exactly right Shepherd is clueless!!!!!!!!! He is dead wrong and you are absolutely correct. Search for it???? How do you do that when the only option is delete there is no URL there is just a picture of the video there’s no way to click on it open it save it share it do anything. Shepherds advice is pathetic and absolutely wrong.

So you will typically search for it and then you watch it.

Yes…you can see a list of what you’ve viewed, but you cannot select the video to view it again. Facebook has done away with this feature for some reason. It’s been like this for over a year now.
