How to Download Discord Videos - 5 Ways

By Cecilia Hwung | Last Update:

Discord has grown into one of the largest communities for gamers, geeks and people seeking similar hobbies in the cyber age. Besides chatting, users also share memes, videos, GIFs, and pictures in their favorite servers. When you come across an interesting video, you will need a Discord video downloader to save the content offline.

Below are 5 popular and easy methods to download videos from Discord, no matter they are in the Discord server, group chat, or direct messages.

1. How to Download Discord Videos in-Server

For videos that are directly uploaded to the Discord server, there will be a download button at the top right corner of the video player. For videos being shared to Discord with a link, the download icon is not applicable. If the Discord video you prefer to save belongs to the first type, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Go to the Discord web app or desktop app.

Step 2. Hover over a video in the channel from the server you joined.

Step 3. Click the download button at the top right corner to save Discord videos.

Download Discord Videos from Desktop

Discord has an 8MB video limitation for uploaded videos. Videos that are directly downloadable from Discord are generally smaller than 8MB and short in time, unless you are Discord Nitro (100MB) or Discord Classic (50MB) subscriber.

2. How to Download Discord Videos (with Links Shared from Other Platforms)

Besides videos that are directly uploaded by users and shared to the Discord server, that are other types of videos being sharing via Link. To convert Discord links to MP4 and more video formats, you need to use a Discord Video Downloader software. The best overall choice is VideoProc Converter AI.

VideoProc Converter AI is the brainchild of Digiarty Software, Inc. This 4-in-1 video tool has features to download, convert, edit and record videos.

3. How to Get Discord Videos on Android/iPhone

If you are using the Discord mobile app, you can also save the video to the internal storage of your iPhone/Android phone. The steps are quite similar when the video is shared directly in the server:

Step 1. Open the Discord app, log in and go to the channel that contains the video you need.

Step 2. Click the full-screen button of the Video, and check the download icon on the top of the player.

Step 3. Click the download icon to save Discord videos to mobile phone.

If the video is shared via links from other platforms, you won't see the Download icon of that video. Instead, you need to use Discord Video Downloader tools to save the video.

Depending on where the video is hosted, you can follow respective tutorials to save Twitter videos in Discord, download Twitch videos (VOD, clips, live streaming), and other platforms that support video embedding.

4. Use Discord Video Downloader Bots

Another way to download Discord Video is to add the Discord Video Downloader bots. As the bots can be removed every now and then, this method is less stable than other methods on the page. Still, once it works, it will be quite handy for you to save Discord video links to MP4.

Step 1. Search for "discord video downloader bot" in your web browser, and use those still working.

Step 2. Click the Invite button to ask the bot to join the server.

Step 3. Check the tutorial of that bot, and send messages using the prescribed commands.

For instance, SaveVideo Discord Bot requires you to send "sv video <example discord video link>", while some other bots prefer "-a [example discord video link]".

Step 4. Wait for the server to analyze and reply to you with the video.

Tips

  1. If somehow the download icon didn't show up on your mobile, you can instead click the share box icon and copy the link of the video. Then head to the mobile browser app such as Safari, and paste the link. From there, you shall be able to find the download button in full-screen mode.
  2. If the above tip also fails, you can use the Documents app (developed by Readdle) to open the link. It usually prompts you with the option to download the video.

5. Use Discord Video Downloader Online

If you don't want to install software on your computer, or you don't need batch downloading features, you can resort to Discord Video Downloader online.

Depending on the source of the Discord shared video, you can try one of the following online downloader dedicated for specific platforms:

For discord videos shared from Twitter, you can use the savetweetvid.com online tool.

  1. Right-click on the video to copy its address.
  2. Visit savetweetvid.com and paste the URL.
  3. Wait for the analyzing process to end, and choose the resolution you prefer to download.

For Discord videos shared from Twitch, visit untwitch.com to save the video. The steps are more or less similar as the tool introduced above.

You can search for online tool plus the platform that hosts the video in Discord server, Discord Group DM, and Private Messages. Use the tools that rank top of the search result.
