A VidMate Twitter video download is handy when you see a news clip, a sports moment or a funny video on X and want to keep it. X doesn't give you a save button for videos, but the app can do it from the post link. Here's how. Read more about the VidMate app, or download VidMate if you haven't yet.
Step 1: Copy the Post Link
In the X app, open the post with the video. Tap the Share icon (the arrow at the bottom of the post) and choose Copy link.
Step 2: Paste and Open
Open the app, paste the link in the search bar, and tap Go. The post opens with the video ready to play.
Step 3: Pick a Size and Save
Tap the download button. X often offers two or three sizes. Choose one and tap Download.
Step 4: Find the Video
Your clip appears in My Files. Tap it to play.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Public posts only. Videos from protected accounts can't be saved.
- GIFs save as short videos. X stores GIFs as video files, so they'll appear as MP4s.
- Posts with several videos. Open the post and download each video separately.
- Credit the source. If you share the clip, link to the original post.
Fixes
Nothing happens after pasting. Check that the link starts with x.com or twitter.com, and copy it again if it's cut off.
"Video not found." The post may be deleted or from a protected account.
Download fails part way. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, then tap resume.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
