Participants recently registered on social networks and simply users who are poorly versed in working with a PC are often not familiar with even basic knowledge regarding downloading the necessary files from the Internet. When difficulties arise with how to download videos from Odnoklassniki to your computer and phone, you need to urgently deal with this issue. In fact, it's not difficult at all. Next, we will tell you step by step about 4 ways to download a video quickly - in two clicks.
How to download videos from Odnoklassniki to your computer
Why is this difficult, some people wonder. This is explained by the fact that this platform has its own specific rules and subtleties of such a seemingly simple process. Videos often appear in the news feed - in this way different people share their impressions, but downloading these files to your PC is difficult - you can only watch them. This happens because there is no download function for these materials, so you have to make do with improvised means.
It should be borne in mind that video files present in Odnoklassniki come in two types:
- Some videos are personal videotapes from your own device. Sometimes they are created with their own hands.
- Other files – information obtained on the Internet, in other social networks, on YouTube, and third-party sites.
Knowing several effective techniques for downloading videos from OK to your computer, you can use them for other cases, always getting excellent results.
For those who are familiar with a programming language and a computer at first hand, it will not be difficult to make a download using the page code; for others, easier methods can be suggested:
- by installing an extension in a search engine;
- using special applications;
- transferring a file to a mobile device;
- using the telechargerunevideo service.
It usually only takes a few minutes to download, you just need to understand what to do and what tools to use.
Programs or online services as a download method
Important!
On the Internet, all objects have their own location address - a link. In most cases, downloading them without it will be impossible. How to get a link to an object in order to then save a video from Odnoklassniki to a hard drive is described above (points 1 and 2 of the previous instructions). The method is universal and valid for any instruction where links are mentioned. The second way is an online service. There are several of them:
- SaveFrom or Deturl;
- GetVideo or SaveTube;
- TeleCharGeruneVideo and others.
The most popular is SaveFrom (savefrom.net). But the principle of operation of all resources is exactly the same. To resave a video on your PC, you need to save its link to the clipboard, then paste it into an empty field in the online service window and click “Download” (“Get download”). The process is complete.
Transferring videos via apps
Among the programs that can help with video downloading are the following:
VDownloader
The VDownloader application is a unique tool that allows you to transfer not only video clips, but also music to your computer. The main advantage is that the program does this from absolutely any resource , including Odnoklassniki, moreover, it is free and has a user-friendly interface:
- it needs to be installed;
- go to OK from Chrome, Opera or Firefox browsers;
- click on play and a link to the material will appear in the application;
- All you have to do is open the extension, select the video name and click on download.
Savefrom.net
Savefrom.net – this useful software is installed for all major browsers. The program is safe, downloading will take only 5-10 minutes, it is suitable for downloading files from a large number of sites, file hosting services, and social networks.
On the developer page, the installer is first downloaded, then the installation of the application starts. In this case, you can uncheck the full installation option so as not to clog your hard drive with unnecessary browser programs. This will be followed by the usual installation with accompanying confirmations; you should also note which browsers require this extension. In the future, when using Savefrom.net, there should be no problems with how to download videos from Odnoklassniki to your computer; you can also download files from other platforms and YouTube.
Mobile version of the site
To copy a video clip you like from a social network, follow these steps sequentially.
Step 1. Open the page with the content you are interested in.
Step 2. In the browser line before “ok.ru” write the letter “m” with a dot, as shown in the screenshot.
Step 3: Now right click on the video and save it to your computer.
That's all. But you need to perform the actions in exactly this sequence, otherwise nothing will work. You can only upload one video this way. If you switch to another page and try the same trick with another entry, it won't work.
Using GetVideo Tools
We will talk about a convenient tool when you need to download a video clip or extract sound from it. GetVideo is a special website that has the necessary functionality for this. Working with it is extremely simple and all you need is a link to the video you like. Just paste the clip address into the line and click on download, after which the download will begin.
An alternative is a bootloader program of the same name designed for Windows operating systems. After you have copied the address to the video in Odnoklassniki, when you launch the application, click on the “plus” and paste the link into the provided field. If you need to convert to your format, you need to mark the conversion. Clicking on the arrow starts the download process. You can watch the loading process until it reaches 100%, it is reflected in the application interface.
Extracting video from page code
If you need to save not one, but several files, then, without closing the mobile version of the site, right-click anywhere on the screen and select “Examine element” in Firefox or “View code” in Google Chrome. I will show using Chrome as an example, since it is more convenient to save media files through it.
In the panel that opens, select the “Network” and “Media” tabs.
After that, turn on the player on the left side of the window. When the address of the file with the “video.mp4” format appears in the lower table, right-click on it and open it in a new tab.
After this, the video will immediately start loading. If the link does not appear in the table, refresh the page.
When copying starts, you can move on to the next video and save it to your computer in the same way. The following file will appear in the table below.
TelechargerUneVideo
TelechargerUneVideo is a service where you can download. It will take a few clicks:
- after playing, you need to find the address of the video, go to it and make a copy of the link;
- enter it into the line on the TelechargerUneVideo website;
- click on the button located on the left side;
- select the format and start downloading by specifying the folder.
The site is free and is the easiest to use if you don’t know how to download videos from Odnoklassniki.
Is it possible to save videos on a PC using standard methods?
We are used to the fact that photos and pictures from Odnoklassniki can be saved by simply clicking on a special button on the side of the file. It is very comfortable. But for videos, the OK functionality does not provide such a possibility. By the way, there is no such button in other social networks.
Either the administration protects the rights of authors in this way, or creating such a function is too difficult and will be associated with many problems.
Be that as it may, the question of how to transfer a file from OK to a computer is the most frequently asked one. And there is an answer to it: services and programs.
Download videos from classmates to your phone
In addition to downloading to a PC, you can also download video materials to mobile gadgets from Android. Since it is impossible to install special programs on the phone, other methods must be used.
You can download files to modern Android devices by performing the following steps:
- You will need to log in to the mobile version of Odnoklassniki on your tablet or smartphone;
- press and hold the screen with the video with your finger until “download video” appears, click on the inscription, thereby activating the download;
- The material will be located in Downloads.
Then you can change its name, and if the format does not match, configure the extension (mp3 or mp4).
Another way to transfer clips from OK to your phone is to install software from the manufacturer’s official page :
- you will need to go to the site;
- in the search, type “application for downloading videos in OK”;
- select and install the appropriate program.
In addition, there is always the possibility of downloading such materials first to a PC and then to a mobile device. This is done using a regular flash drive and a USB cable.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to transfer videos to an iPhone, since Apple does not allow the presence of any third-party downloader applications .
What do the instructions suggest?
Typically, the right mouse button is used to download files. But in this case it won't help. Videos in OK are embedded in the page code itself, so users can only watch the clips or add them to their Odnoklassniki account. If the user wishes, he can share the video with other participants, but downloading it for offline viewing cannot be done using the usual methods.
To send a video to another person, you can use a direct link. In this case, you should copy the video address using the address bar and send it, for example, via instant messenger. Then even those who are not registered on the social network will be able to play the file.
On the other hand, there are special programs with which you can easily download the desired video from OK.
On iPhone
Without programs
Unfortunately, on iOS devices there is no way to download a video clip without third-party tools. However, you can easily do this with the following applications.
Using the app
Video Saver PRO+ Cloud Drive
- Open the App Store application on your phone.
- Enter Video Saver PRO+ Cloud Drive and download it.
- Next, we do exactly the same as on an Android device: copy the necessary link to the video from the Odnoklassniki application and return to the application we downloaded earlier. In it we press “ Direct URL».
- In the tab that opens, paste our copied link into the top window.
- Open the video that appears.
- After this, the window we need will open, in which we need to click on the “Download” button to download the clip.
In addition to this application, you can also download the following:
- FileMaster-Privacy Protection is an excellent application for downloading any files from the Internet. It serves more as a file manager, but is also great for downloading videos from Odnoklassniki.
- iLax is another application similar to Video Saver PRO+ Cloud Drive. Just paste the copied video URL into it and download it in minutes.
Now you know how to download videos to your phone in Odnoklassniki. This is quite easy to do if you are using an old Android version 2.3.6. But for newer versions you will have to download a simple application and download the video through it.
Method 4: Add videos to saved ones
This option is suitable for those users who are unable to download videos using the previous instructions or are not suitable for other reasons. Thanks to it, you can only save the video on your page to play it back at any time. The file is not saved on the PC, which must be taken into account when performing further actions.
- Open the section with videos and play the desired one.
- Click the plus button in the player to save the video on the page.
- Close playback and expand the “My Video” section in the left panel.
- Here you are interested in the “Scheduled Videos” category, where all added entries fall. You can also go to “Browsing history” so that the last viewed entries are displayed on the screen.
- If you only gave the video a like, it will also be saved on the page and will be available for viewing through the corresponding category in the same section.
