Even though Twitter wasn't designed to host videos, it's actually a great place to find viral or otherwise fascinating clips. In fact, they're so delicious that you'll want to pass around a lot of servings so that everyone can indulge. While Twitter images can be easily downloaded, the same cannot be said for Twitter videos. Neither the mobile applications nor the desktop site for Twitter now allow users to download videos. However, as is the case with any problem, there are solutions. Users can download videos from Twitter with the use of external programs.
To save a video from Twitter on a computer, you can use a web browser.
Open a new tab in Twitter and search for the tweet containing the video.
Copy the video's address by right-clicking on it and choosing that option.
Launch a video downloader site, such as Twitter Video Downloader, in a separate tab.
Simply copy the video's URL, paste it into the downloader's text box, then hit "Download."
It's up to you to pick the level of video quality you want to watch at.

Just go to the website we gave and touch "Get Shortcut" to add the Twitter Video Downloader shortcut to your device's home screen.
