Download Twitter Videos Without Needing Software
If you look online, you will find all manner of snake oil salesmen offering expensive software to download Twitter videos. But the reality is, you don’t need software at all, and you needn’t spend a penny either. One video series I enjoy on Twitter is Burned Your Tweet. This is where someone has made a robot that prints out each Donald Trump tweet, as the President puts them out. Then the robot burns it. Everyone is filmed and uploaded to Twitter. Yes I know, what can I say? I like mindless entertainment sometimes. Now what if I wanted to download these videos to my computer for offline viewing? Easy.
Step 1 : Click On The Twitter Timestamp
The first step is to click on the timestamp next to the tweet, showing when it went out. This then opens the tweet up in its own URL and in its own box.
Step 2 : Go Mobile
Now go to the URL bar and after the https://, type mobile or m. This will open up the mobile version of that page.
Step 3 : Play & Download
At that point, you are still not going to be able to download. You first need to play the video a little bit, maybe just five seconds or so. But even though you’ve only watched 5 seconds, the rest of the video will have loaded in the browser. NOW right-click on the video and you will see the option “Download Video“. Click on that, and you will be prompted where you want to download the video. All done! Two other ways of downloading it are :
When right-clicking the video, choose the option “Open Video In New Tab”. Then right-click from that page.

This is also a download link.
That’s it, you’ve successfully downloaded Twitter video!
