How to download a video on Twitter

If you are a Twitter Blue subscriber, to download a video, you just need to follow a few steps mentioned below.

Go to the video you'd like to download

Tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner

Tap “Download video”

 If you do not want others to download your videos, here are the steps that you can follow:

While composing a Tweet, after uploading a video to your Tweet, tap Edit in the bottom right of your video

Tap Settings

Tap next to “Allow video to be downloaded” to turn on or off.

Notably, this setting cannot be changed for that particular tweet. Hence, to disable the download of such videos, users will have to delete them altogether. The company already allows users to upload videos of up to 2 hours on the platform.

Twitter has been making a lot of headlines this week. Elon Musk made a major announcement by rebranding Twitter as ‘X’ and replacing the iconic blue bird icon with the letter ‘X’. A letter that Musk seems to be obsessed with since 1999 when he founded his own online banking company called X.com.

Musk will now focus on making Twitter “an everything app” that includes audio, video, payment, messaging and more, more like China’s WeChat app. He recently wrote on Twitter, “The Twitter name made sense when it was just 140-character messages going back and forth – like birds tweeting – but now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video."
