How to save Twitter videos to your computer

How to save Twitter / X videos to your computer.

[ how – to advice from an anon forum. It works, I tried it. ]

[ to archive Twitter videos you want to save, just in case they get “disappeared” ]

[ I added “broken” URLs with spaces and “dot” for reference, because LinkedIn automatically hijacks every. single. link. posted here into its own LinkedIn URL ]

===============================================

1) Take base URL

>  x.com ↗

[ https : // x dot com/DrPhil/status/1843027679312056787 ]

2) Replace “x.com” with “fxtwitter.com”

[ Replace “x dot com” with “fxtwitter dot com” ]

3) Add “.mp4” at end

>  fxtwitter.com ↗

[ https : // fxtwitter dot com/DrPhil/status/1843027679312056787 dot mp4 ]

4) Enter that into browser

New URL for video is redirected and you can download it

>  video.twimg.com ↗

[ https : // video dot twimg dot com/ext_tw_video/1843027053764870144/pu/vid/avc1/1920×1080/TX2ZsCzue1913jdY dot mp4 ?tag=14 ]
