How to Download Videos from Discord

Discord is a popular free voice, video, and text chat app used primarily by gamers. However, Discord can be used for much more than just gaming. One of its best features is the ability to share images, GIFs, and videos in chat channels.

Discord allows users to upload and share videos up to 8 MB in size directly within chat channels on servers. This makes it easy to share gameplay clips, funny videos, movie trailers, viral videos, and more to enhance conversations.

While 8 MB is not a huge file size allowance, it is sufficient for short video clips. Discord provides easy tools to download these videos for saving and offline viewing.

There are several reasons to download videos from Discord:

View videos offline when not connected to the internet
Save funny or meaningful videos for your collection
Share videos with friends who are not on the Discord server
Repost videos to other platforms like YouTube or social media
Watch videos on different devices that don’t have Discord installed

Downloading Discord videos takes just a few simple clicks, making it a very useful feature.

Download Videos from Discord

Before downloading your videos, make sure to:

You have an internet connection
You have permission to view and download videos in that Discord server/channel
The Discord desktop or mobile app has access to device storage for saving files

If you have issues downloading, double-check these permissions first.

While Discord videos have a maximum file size of 8 MB, that can still quickly eat up storage space if you download many videos.

So before you begin downloading lots of videos, confirm you have enough free storage space on your device’s hard drive or memory card.

On mobile, you may need to delete old photos or apps to clear more space for video files.
