How to Download Streaming Video

Unfortunately, video sharing websites do not offer downloading options, and watching high-quality streamed videos can often get messy. If your bandwidth is not big enough, it can take too long to load the video. As for live streaming videos that aren’t available for download or purchase, you can’t review them later as well as watching them live. That is, unless you have Movavi Screen Recorder – a simple yet effective software for downloading video streaming or capturing any other kind of screen activity. With this program, you can easily save any video stream! Download Movavi Screen Recorder today and follow the instructions below.

Step 1. Install stream downloader on your PC or Mac

Wait until the download is finished then run the installation file and follow simple instructions on how to install our online video catcher.

Step 2. Set the capture parameters

Open the web page that contains the video you want to capture. After launching the program, the sidebar will appear on your screen. Click on the Recording icon and draw the capture frame over the video. You can then further change the frame by hand according to the size of the web video window. If you’re going to view and record online video at maximum resolution, we recommend you select a full screen.

When you decided on the size of capture area, the control panel will appear. Click on the System Audio icon to activate the recording of interna sounds. Don't forget to turn off Microphone to remove external noises from the record.

Step 3. Record the webcast

Click the REC button to start the screen video recording. It will commence after a 3-second countdown, which leaves you plenty of time to prepare and hit Play on the streaming video player when the recording process starts. Once you’ve captured the video from the web page, click Stop, the video will be immediately saved to your hard drive in MKV format. You will see a preview window which lets you check the captured material, trim it, and export it in any other format.

Step 4. Trim the recording

After you stop recording, you’ll see a preview window where you can either save the resulting video in a different format right away or cut out unwanted parts with the built-in video-editing tool first. Click the Cut button, select points on the timeline where you want to make a cut, and hit Delete fragment.

Step 5. Save your recording

To save the video, click Export, enter the file name, select the target folder and format, and click Save. Now you know how to download streaming video from website in the most efficient way and keep it on your hard drive.
