Looking for ways to download videos from Twitter? As one of the most popular social media platforms, Twitter allows people to share their thoughts, as well as images and videos, on the platform. However, saving the videos from Twitter isn’t that easy; instead, you have to save the URL for the tweet. However, there are a few ways in which you can get just the video. We have put together a step-by-step guide on how you can download videos from Twitter.

To download videos from Twitter, you will need to open the website on a desktop browser. There are no direct ways to download videos from Twitter itself but there are a lot of websites that let you do it. We tested SaveTweetVid and TwitterVideoDownloader and can confirm they work.
