How To Save Video From Twitter DM
Saving videos from Twitter (X) DMs isn’t as simple as saving from a public post, because DM content is private and doesn’t have a public video link. That means most online downloaders won’t work here.
Here are realistic ways you can save a DM video:
- Ask the sender to share the original video file or post it as a public tweet (so it can be downloaded normally).
- Use a browser extension (on desktop) that can detect and save media while the video is playing in the DM.
- Advanced method: Open Developer Tools → Network tab, play the video, look for
.mp4
or.m3u8
requests, then copy and download the file. - Last resort: Use your device’s screen recording feature to capture the clip while it plays.
Always get permission before saving videos from private messages to respect privacy and copyright.
How To Download a Video from Twitter: With and Without X Premium
With X Premium
If you’re a Premium subscriber and the uploader has enabled the “Allow video to be downloaded” setting when posting, you’ll see a download option under the video. Click it to save the file directly. If the setting is off or it’s an older video, the button won’t appear.
Without X Premium
For public tweets, the easiest way is to use ArchivlyX:
- Copy the tweet link (Share → Copy link).
- Paste it into ArchivlyX’s Tweet Viewer.
- Preview the video and click download—works the same on desktop and mobile, and you don’t even need to log in.
