How to Download an Embedded Video from a Website

There are many websites that offer online free learning but not every site makes them available to be downloaded for offline or future reference.

In this guidepost, we will see how to download an embedded video from a website using the inspect element feature (Chrome Developer Tools). We don’t need to use any software, or Chrome Extension – with a few simple steps you will have your favorite video downloaded to your local computer.

Now, this won’t work on websites that are intentionally streaming videos for commercial reasons, such as tutorials, Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, etc. More often than not, such websites encrypt or protect their videos for obvious reasons, as that’s their business model.

So, please protect copyright policies and don’t abuse this feature and use only for your personal and educational purposes.

I created a short video to show this technique rather than telling how to do.

Here’s how, watch it here:
