How to Download Embedded Videos from Any Website

How to Download Embedded Videos from Any Website

The tutorial explains two browser-based methods to download videos embedded in web pages—when no download button is shown.

Method 1: Simple right-click + new tab

1. Find the embedded video on a website.
2. Right-click the video and look for “Open video in new tab.”
3. Open the video in a new tab.
4. In the new tab, click the three-dot menu (top-right).
5. If a Download option appears, click it to save the video to the Downloads folder.

Method 2: Developer Tools (Network tab + media filter)

Use this when the first method doesn’t show “open video in new tab.”

1. Right-click the video → “Inspect” to open Developer Tools.
   • Shortcut notes: F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I (Chrome).
2. Go to the Network tab in Developer Tools.
   • If you don’t see it, use the double-arrow menu to find it.
3. Turn on the filter option (if needed).
4. Click the Media filter to show media-related network requests (video/audio).
5. Reload the page (Ctrl + R or the reload button) to trigger loading media files again.
6. In the Network list, identify the media entry matching the target video.
7. Right-click the media file and open it in a new tab (if available).
8. In that tab, use the three-dot menu to find and click Download (if the file is directly downloadable).

Key takeaway

• Embedded videos can sometimes be downloaded by either:
  • opening the video source in a new tab, or
  • locating the underlying media file via Developer Tools → Network → Media.
