Can you download a Twitter video?
When you want to download a video, you may have wondered, “Can I download this video?”
You can download Twitter videos if you just want to enjoy the saved videos for yourself. However, publishing videos uploaded by other users without permission may be an infringement of copyright.
Twitter Video Download Guidelines
According to Twitter’s new Terms of Service that have been in place since January 1, 2020, there is no statement that “Video was not downloaded”.
Therefore, it is in principle possible to save the video.
Beware of Piracy
We mentioned earlier that you can save videos but be careful about piracy. Please pay attention to this issue.
This law is not only used within the scope of Twitter, so it is clear that even if you post on other platforms, it is illegal. In addition, the act of downloading and releasing videos such as TV and movies, music videos of singers, and other videos that are distributed for a fee that causes “disadvantage to others” is also a copyright violation. As you can see, this is a matter of concern.
Watch the video Twitter downloaded individually
You’ll not break the law as long as you save the video and enjoy it in a personal way. Because according to Twitter’s rules, that’s not wrong.
