Videos have now become a part of life. Video is currently becoming more relevant than text and images.
One great thing about the videos is that it keeps us relaxed while watching. On the other hand, text may be more stressful, especially for those who don’t like reading.
In today’s world, you will find videos on most web pages. After writing a page – some bloggers will also like to make a short video on it to encourage readers.

How to Download Videos Online
1. Try downloading it from the embedded player
Some embedded players the website is using to display videos may allow you to download videos directly from them easily.
Most time, all you need to access this feature is to right-click within the embedded player and select the “Download” or “Download source video.”
The option will depend on your browser, the way in which it will phrase may vary too.
2. Try using a screen capture software to record the video from your screen
In cases where “video downloader” sites didn’t work, or you do not want to make use of it, then you can record the video straight from your screen, making use of a good screen recording software.
If you have never made use of such software, it might be so confusing at first, but with time you will learn.
It will let you have a copy of any type of video, no matter the level of protection given to it.
Though after screen recording it, you may have to edit it, so it will not be obvious how you got the file.

Some helpful websites include a download link on their videos, so make sure to check for this firstly.
It should be located around the embedded video player, that should be the first place you look, or you right-click if you are using a PC.
