The Egyptian government and the Coptic Church have confirmed the authenticity of the footage.
It showed the Egyptian workers, all wearing orange jump suits, being beheaded near a waterfront which is said to be located in the Libyan province of Tripoli.
The men were seized in two attacks in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya.
In the wake of the video release, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has called for an urgent meeting with Egypt's top national security and declared seven days of mourning.
He said Egypt reserves the right to respond to the incident in a suitable way.
The Coptic Orthodox Church has issued a statement saying it is confident the killers will be brought to justice.
