4 Ways to Download Twitter Videos on iPhone, iPad and Mac

Twitter is a popular social media platform where you can find various forms of content based on images, videos, and text. While it is possible to upload images and even copy text, Twitter has not yet introduced an official way to upload videos to Twitter.

So what will you do if you stumble upon a video on Twitter that you’d like to save to your camera roll or even share with someone who isn’t using the app? Don’t worry; I’ve brought you the easiest ways to download Twitter videos on iPhone, iPad and Mac!

Download Twitter video with online tool

1. Click the share icon next to the video tweet.
2. Select Copy Link. For Mac, select Copy Tweet Link.
3. Visit SSStwitter.com

5. Click Download.
6. Wait a moment and then select the quality of the video to download.
7. Wait a while until the process starts.

Use Screen Recording to Capture Twitter Video

If you don’t want to try hard, you can just do screen recording on iPhone or screen recording on Mac. However, you will have additional clips at the beginning and end of the screen recording. You can fix this problem quickly by using any video editing apps for iPhone or Mac to fix these problems.
