Browser extensions add a download button directly to LinkedIn, making repeated downloads seamless.

Step 2: Navigate to LinkedIn

Go to LinkedIn and find the video you want to download.

Step 3: Play the Video

Start playing the video - most extensions need to detect an active video stream.

1. Look for the extension icon in your browser toolbar (usually top-right)
2. The icon often animates or changes color when it detects a video
3. Click on it to see available downloads

Troubleshooting:

• Download fails? Try pausing and resuming the video, then retry
• Wrong video downloading? Make sure only one video is playing on the page

Method 3: Browser Inspect Element (Manual Method)

Best for: Tech-savvy users when other methods fail

This method uses your browser's developer tools to find the direct video URL. It's more complex but works when tools are blocked.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Open the LinkedIn Post

Navigate to the LinkedIn post with the video and open it in full view.

Step 2: Open Developer Tools

• Windows/Linux: Press F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I
• Mac: Press Cmd + Option + I

Step 3: Go to Network Tab

1. Click on the "Network" tab in Developer Tools
2. Type "mp4" or "video" in the filter box

Step 4: Play the Video

Start playing the LinkedIn video. You'll see network requests appear in the panel.

Step 5: Find the Video URL

1. Look for requests containing "video" or ending in ".mp4"
2. Click on the request to see details
3. Find the full URL in the "Headers" section
4. Right-click and copy the URL

Step 6: Download the Video

1. Open a new browser tab
2. Paste the video URL
3. Right-click on the video
4. Select "Save video as..."
5. Choose your save location

Pro Tips for Method 3:

• Clear network log before playing to easily spot the video request
• Look for the largest file - that's usually the highest quality video
• Some videos are segmented - in this case, use Method 1 instead

Common Issues:

• No video URL found? The video might be using adaptive streaming (HLS). Use Method 1 instead.
• URL shows "blob:"? This is a temporary URL that won't work. Try Method 1.
• Access denied? The video might be private or restricted.

Recommended Method Summary

Our recommendation: Start with Method 1 (Online Tool) - it works for 95% of LinkedIn videos and requires no technical knowledge or installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download LinkedIn videos on mobile?

Yes, but it's more limited. On mobile:

• iPhone: Use a browser-based tool and save to Files
• Android: Use online tools or dedicated apps from the Play Store
• Best approach: Use the desktop method for highest quality, then transfer to mobile

Why can't I find the download button on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn doesn't provide a native download button for most videos to protect content creators' rights. You'll need to use one of the three methods described above.

Are LinkedIn video downloaders legal?

Downloading videos for personal use is generally acceptable. However:

• Respect copyright laws in your jurisdiction
• Don't redistribute others' content without permission
• Commercial use typically requires explicit permission

Do downloaded LinkedIn videos have watermarks?

When using reputable tools like SpringBrand's downloader, your downloaded videos will have no watermarks. The video is saved exactly as it appears on LinkedIn.

Can I download private LinkedIn videos?

You can only download videos you have access to view. Private videos shared in groups or direct messages may have additional restrictions based on your relationship with the poster.

What video formats are available?

Most LinkedIn videos download as MP4 files, which are compatible with virtually all devices and video players. Some tools also offer:

• WebM format
• Different quality options (480p, 720p, 1080p)
• Audio-only downloads (MP3)

How do I download LinkedIn Learning videos?

LinkedIn Learning videos have DRM protection and cannot be downloaded using these methods. LinkedIn Learning offers its own offline viewing feature within the app for subscribers.

Why does my downloaded video have no sound?

This can happen when:

• The original video was uploaded without audio
• There was a download error - try again
• The video uses a separate audio stream - use Method 1 for best results
