You can spend a pleasant evening watching an interesting film, TV series or even a blog. If you upload them only on YouTube, then we advise you to pay attention to the library of files in Odnoklassniki. It is, of course, much inferior in power to global hosting, but, nevertheless, the social network is not going to despair and is constantly updated with new content. Below we will tell you how to download videos from Odnoklassniki to your phone, what you can do with the videos in OK, and what to do if you can’t save them.
Is it possible to download videos from OK?
At the moment, it is not possible to download videos to your mobile device from Odnoklassniki as a standard. And it is unlikely that such a function will be available. It's all about copyright protection. Each work “uploaded” to the Internet on a social network has an owner. That is, it is he who can manage his work, and not the community or an individual. In this case, Odnoklassniki simply offers the service of watching the video. They cannot give away someone else's product for personal use. If they don't want litigation.
If you can’t officially save a file to your phone, then what can you do with it?
- Add to bookmarks so that you can always find it in the future.
- Add to deferred. This option will be needed if you did not manage to watch the entire movie or series to the end and want to return to it later.
- Comment. You can express your opinion below the post.
- Rate by rating.
- Share. The post can be sent to your friends in the feed, in private messages or in third-party applications: WhatsApp, VK, Telegram, Viber, Mail. You can also publish the entry in your group.
- Post your videos using the “Add” button.
- If the content does not suit you personally, or offends one of the community members or a third party or organization, then you can complain about it.
