You can download a copy of a video from your library at any time.

You'll have the option to either download the original media file or a copy of the video at different resolutions (1080p, 720p, etc). Vidyard creates these additional copies whenever you upload or record a video.

  • The Source (or original media file) will download in its original resolution and file type
  • Any other version of the video will download as an .mp4 file

Need to give the video file to someone else? You can also share a download link to any of the available versions of your video.
