- schoen 5y agoI think youtube-dl (and the somewhat popular fork yt-dlp) can do this. You don't have to be an expert on "web stuffs" to benefit from it -- the very active communities around these tools are doing that research for you! -- but you do have to install software not through an app store, a skill that I hear quite a few people aren't picking up these days. Despite the name, youtube-dl includes code to support downloading videos from hundreds of different web sites.
- IronWolve 5y agoI use yt-dlp, save as mp4, and sometimes I just want a smaller video, so -f 'bv*[height<=640]+ba/b[height<=640] option works for me. yt-dlp --verbose -S res,ext:mp4:m4a --merge-output-format mp4 --no-mtime -o name_of_file.mp4 https://twitter.com/url/xxxx https://twitter.com/url/xxxx Also for a web click https://www.savetweetvid.com/ https://www.savetweetvid.com/
- brezelgoring 5y agoThere are bots that do this for you. Just reply to the tweet with the video with "@downloaderbot" or something else and the bot replies with a DL link.

- kazanz 5y agoOut of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish by getting the videos?
- navjack27 5y agoThere are extensions that can do this for pretty much every web browser. Pretty sure developer tools can just find it in the source... Really ain't hard.
