How to download Dailymotion videos

2 min read · Works in Chrome

Quick answer

Open the Dailymotion video, or the news page with it embedded, open FileSnatch and click Download. The stream is joined into one MP4.

The problem

Dailymotion has no download button and streams its videos in small pieces. On news sites, the player is tucked inside the page, so there's no address to copy.

How FileSnatch helps

FileSnatch finds Dailymotion players on dailymotion.com and inside other sites.
It lists the qualities and joins the stream into one MP4.
The file is named after the video's title.
