How to Download Embedded Videos from Any Page and Site

The embedded videos you see may be self-hosted or from third-party video-sharing sites. The methods to download an embedded video vary depending on where the video is hosted. We will cover each situation in this guide. Before learning how to download embedded videos, you should know the differences between an embedded video and an original video first. 

1️⃣One of its differences is that an embedded video comes from common streaming sites, which means the embedding process is single-sided. You can embed streaming video on other social media platforms, but not the other way around.

2️⃣Another difference is that the way to get the video link. A video link of streaming sites lies directly on the address bar of a browser, while you cannot get direct access to an embedded video's link.

Most videos embedded on a page are from other video-streaming sites, like YouTube and Dailymotion. These sites provide embed codes that can be used directly on a page. In such a case, downloading an embedded video from a page is equal to downloading a video from video-streaming sites. Thus, this question becomes easy. You need a video downloader to help you download the embedded video from the page.

Let's see how to do this.

Step 2. Click the three-dot icon > "More tools" > "Developer tools" to open the code page. You can also press "F12" to open it fast. 

Step 3. Stay on the "Element" tab and inspect a selected element on the page. Click the arrow icon (it will turn blue), move your mouse to the embedded video on the page, and click. Then, go through the code in the developer tools to look for the URL of the video. The URL usually ends with .MP4. 

Step 4. Click to open the URL. If you can't, copy and paste it into a new tab to load the video. Put your mouse within the video page and right-click to select "Save video as..." to save the video to your PC.

That is all about how to download an embedded video from any website with browser developer tools.
