The first step is to get the video’s address. As a bonus, these steps usually work for downloading animated GIFs from Twitter, as well. You have to employ third-party software or apps, helper websites, or browser extensions to get what you want. The problem with Twitter is, unlike with pictures, you can’t simply right-click (on the desktop) or long-press (in the mobile apps) to save vids you see on Twitter. You've probably seen a video on Twitter that you wanted to save to view offline, much like you can on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok. You have your reasons we trust you to not violate anyone’s copyright or Twitter’s Terms of Service. Whether Elon Musk is forced to buy Twitter or not, the service probably isn’t going away in the near future and video use on the platform will only increase. A lot of that is advertising, of course, but it’s come a long way from that old-school, 140-character limit. It's all a bunch of pithy text, right? Not quite: 2 billion videos are viewed on the service every day, according to Twitter (Opens in a new window).
