By default, owners of a video are the only ones who can download the video. Owners can allow others to download their video two different ways depending on how they are sharing their video. See the instructions below on how to download your own video and how to allow others to download.
Note for users of screen readers: letters in parentheses in the instructions below refer to corresponding areas on example images. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact eLearning for assistance.
