Q: Why my video isn't downloading, but starts playing? Answer: this is a recent change in browser behavior, the Big Internet wants you to keep your audio and video data online, and stream it every time you want to check out your daughter's first ballet performance. Whyyyy?? We don't know. But that is the reason video doesn't download and rather starts streaming. It can easily be worked around, no worries, you are still getting your video! Chrome/Edge: very easy solution is to press ALT and LEFT-Click the download link. You'll notice downloads start always 100% without opening to play or stream. Nice!! This will work in all Chrome-based browsers (Opera, Yandex, Torch, etc) and Microsoft Edge. The latter will actually use our suggested filename to save video file, while chrome doesn't do it.. So you'll need to rename the file to have a meaningful name (sometimes it'll be just videoplayback.mp4). And kudos to MS Edge! 😜 Desktop Users: instead of clicking on the video link, try to do the Right-Click; a small context menu will open, find Save Link As... option and click it. Standard file download window will show up next, simply click OK and file will be downloaded. Mobile Users: here we do the "other click", usually referred to as "tap and hold". Tap and hold save video button, until a small context menu pops up, find Download Link option, or any similar one, depending on your device and system. Apple Devices: since Apple really doesn't want you to deal with audio and video outside of iTunes, - it dictates browser makers to disable downloading features on standard html elements, like video and audio. We're sorry, but you need special browser or a plugin that circumvents that system-wide limitation. Until that happens, all your audios and videos will simply stream online instead of download.
