How to download video or GIF from TwitterĪlthough Twitter doesn't allow you downloading a video or GIF file but Twdownload comes as pretty handy tool, where you have to simply copy and paste the URL link of any tweet that contains video or GIF inside the input-box above and hit the 'download' button. currently, Twitter doesn't provide it's users any faciity for downloading such media file.

A tweet can be of text, image, video and GIF format. Twitter is social networking site, where users can post their small messages or tweets, restricted to maximum of 140 characters. If you've come to this website, most probably you already know about Twitter. If there were just some way to send the tweet link to something like SaveTweetVid, and then save the linked file from there to OneDrive (or another cloud service), I think I could make this recipe work to automatically save my Switch captures by tweeting them.Twdownload is a Twitter Video Downloader, a free online tool to download and save videos and GIFs from Twitter. It's very easy to tweet them, though, and the Switch automatically adds that hashtag to it. The purpose of this, for those who aren't familiar with Nintendo Switch, is that they've made saving your screenshots and video captures needlessly tedious (until this week it wasn't even officially possible). I think I need a third intermediary to turn the tweet link into something that can actually be saved as a video, since Twitter obfuscates this information in tweets.

I tried creating a recipe that automatically backs up tweets by me with the hashtag #NintendoSwitch, and the OneDrive service on IFTTT defaults to 'first link,' which I tried, but ended up with just the HTML file of the tweet itself. I've found SaveTweetVid, which seems to be clean and work well, and I'm sure there are similar services, but I can't find any way to automate the process. Wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this via IFTTT.
