Got an unusually interesting or important video on Twitter, and you need to save it on your computer or phone? Officially, there is no such option. Don't panic and try desperately to record the screen of the video that is playing.
Following our instructions, you can easily download your favorite video to your phone or PC.
Why download videos from Twitter
Everyone may have their own reasons: lack of time to watch right away, the desire to have access to the video at any time, the risk of removing the video from the network due to specific content, collecting a personal collection of stories, the need to place it on another resource. Regardless of why a person needs to download a video from Twitter, when trying to do this, he finds that nothing works. The developers of the social network, unfortunately, did not provide such a function that users need.
When it is impossible to get something directly, you have to look for ways to bypass it. We suggest doing the same in this case. If a simple retweet to save the video on your Twitter page is not an option for you, you will have to install something extra and make a few “extra” movements.
How to download Twitter video on iOS
The first step is to copy the link to the video from the address bar of your browser or the official Twitter app.
Procedure for copying the link
- Launch your browser and go to www.ssstwitter.com. Sign in to the site. See the field where you need to enter a link? It is hard not to notice it - it is located at the top of the window. Paste the link into it and click "Download".
- In the new window that opens, you can, if necessary, watch the video again to make sure that this is exactly what you want to download. Below it, you will find a list of several options for the quality of the downloaded video. You just have to choose the most suitable one.
At the stage of choosing the desired video quality, you may encounter a small problem. The video will open in the tab separately, but the download will not work. In this case, do not just tap on the required link, but press and hold. You will be prompted to download the required file. You can then access the downloaded file through the Files application.
moving to "My Photostream "
In Files, find the downloaded video and tap and hold on it until a pop-up menu appears. In the menu that opens, select the "Share" command, and then "Save Video".
How to download Twitter video on Android
The procedure is the same as for the iPhone:
1. Launch your browser and open the desired tweet with the video you want to download in it. Important: the tweet must not only be found in the social network feed, but opened in a separate tab. Now click on the video itself and select the "Copy video address" command.
2. Open an additional tab and enter the link to www.ssstwitter.com in the address bar. Sign in. In the window at the top you will see a special input field. Stand there with the cursor and paste the link to the video that you previously placed by copying to the clipboard.
3. There is also an accelerated version of the transition to the site-loader: opening the desired tweet in a separate browser tab, simply complete its address with three S, putting them before the word twitter (this is how it should look like: twitter.com/PTXofficial/status/1521536391712190464 → ssstwitter .com/PTXofficial/status/1521536391712190464 .
4. Check again that you have opened exactly the video that you want to download, and determine in what quality you want to receive it. After clicking on one of the options with extensions, the download will begin.
An important point: the instruction only works for those tweets to which only one video is attached. If there are two, ssstwitter will not be able to determine which one you want to download.
How to download Twitter video on PC
To download the desired video from the Twitter social network to a desktop computer or laptop that runs on Windows or macOS, in principle, the same instructions are suitable as for phones:
1. The first thing to do is copy the video link to the clipboard.
2. Sign in to www.ssstwitter.com . This can be done both in a new tab and in the one where you have the tweet open. In the window above, in a special input field, right-click and select the "Paste" command.
3. A new window will offer you a choice of several options for the quality of the downloaded video. Click on the one that suits you. There is always a temptation to choose the best quality, but keep in mind that such a file will “weigh” more and take longer to download for this reason.
You did everything strictly according to the instructions, but instead of downloading, you got automatic playback? This is how some browsers behave. To still download the desired video, right-click directly on the video to bring up the menu, and in it select "Save As ...".
To download the desired video from the Twitter social network, you can also use a special extension for the Chrome browser, the StreamFab Youtube Downloader Pro comprehensive program, or one of the downloader sites. Let's take a look at each of these methods.
