Twitter is the go-to platform of many for sharing short messages, stories, or random thoughts. It also allows people to tweet pictures and videos with a maximum length of 2 minutes and 20 seconds. However, just like Instagram, Twitter does not have a direct option for saving videos.
But if you need to do so, here are efficient ways on how you can download videos from Twitter either using your PC or mobile devices.
How to download Twitter videos on a Windows or Mac PC
There are two main methods that you can use to download videos into your PC: using a third-party video downloader software or a website.

Android devices give their users vast options when it comes to apps for anything and everything. Of course, there are also plenty of apps for downloading videos from Twitter too. You can simply download and install apps from Google Play like Download Twitter Videos or +Download 4 Instagram Twitter.
Afterward, you can open your Twitter app, search for the video and tap on the share icon.

First, download MyMedia – File Manager from the Apple Store to your phone.
Once it’s installed, go to your Twitter app and find the video you want to save.
Tap on the Share icon and choose the Share Tweet via option. From the selection, tap on the Copy Link to Tweet option.
Afterward, open the MyMedia app, tap on the Browser tab and search for “twittervideodownloader.com” or any online Twitter video downloader website you prefer.
Just like you would normally do on a desktop, paste the link on the space provided, and hit download. Choose a resolution then proceed on tapping the Download Video button. A notification will pop-up to confirm your download.
Add a file name and save the file. You can then find the video in the Media tab of the MyMedia app when the download process is done.
To add it to your camera roll, tap on the video and choose Save to Camera Roll option for easier access.
