Download your own recording EN

Where the option lives, and why it is separate from playing the video.

You can download any recording you own as an MP4 file from its video page. Downloading is free on every plan.

Download a recording

  1. Open the recording from your library.
  2. In the top right of the video page, select the download icon. Its tooltip reads Download recording.
  3. Your browser saves the file. It goes wherever Chrome saves downloads.

The file is named after the recording. Spaces become underscores, and anything other than letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens is dropped. If nothing is left, the file is called video.mp4.

You get the current version of the recording. If you've trimmed it, applied a noise filter or rendered it since recording, the download includes those changes. The download doesn't give you the pre-edit original. The format and resolution badge next to the title only opens Original file details and doesn't download anything. For getting the original back, see Editing is non-destructive: getting the original back.

If the recording is still processing, the player shows a message instead of the video, and there's nothing to download yet. The page reloads when the video is ready. See Why editing, sharing and captions wait for processing.

Why downloading is separate from playing

Watching a recording and keeping a copy of it are two different permissions. Anyone who can open a recording can play it. Only some people can also download it:

  • You, as the owner, can always download your own recordings.
  • Viewers see the download icon only if you've turned on Download for that recording.

The recording's link plays the video. It isn't a link to a file you can save. See Why a recording link is not a direct file link.

To stop viewers from downloading, or to allow it, change the Download setting on the recording's Settings tab. See Stop viewers downloading, or hide the transcript.

If you don't see the download icon

  • You may be viewing someone else's recording, and the owner hasn't allowed downloads.
  • The recording may still be processing.
  • If you recorded in Offline mode, the recording isn't on your account yet. Download it from the extension popup instead. See Where offline recordings are stored, and how to keep them.
