Recently I had to download a number of videos that a user had uploaded to Screencast-O-Matic. I have a number of tools I use to grab video from various sites, but none of them worked for that particular site.
Fortunately, a quick Google search brought a solution from StackExchange, that is worth trying out generally when other options fail:
- Open the video in Google Chrome.
- Press Shift+CTRL+I which will bring up the developer tool.
- From the developer tool window, click on the Element tool, which is on the far left and looks like a box with an arrow pointing to it.
- Click on the video itself. In the developer tool area, this will highlight the video’s actual URL
- Right click on that, and select “Open link in new tab”
- From the new tab, right click and “Save as” or use CTRL+S
