How to download a video from Dembed
Updated: November 10, 2026
On Dembed, each video’s uploader decides whether it can be downloaded. If they allow it, the download is official, free and needs no shady software. Here’s how to do it and why the option sometimes doesn’t appear.
Step by step
- 1Open the video’s page on dembed.cc (the direct /v/… link). If you’re watching it embedded on another site, open the video on Dembed: the download button is on its page.
- 2Click “Download” and choose the quality: the original file or a lighter version, if available.
- 3With a free account, wait for the short countdown and the download starts by itself.
- 4With Premium, the download starts instantly.
If the “Download” button doesn’t appear
- The uploader turned downloads off for that video: it can only be watched online.
- The video is still processing: come back in a few minutes.
- The video was blocked for breaking the rules: it can no longer be watched or downloaded.
Respect the uploader
Downloading a video doesn’t give you the right to re-upload it as your own or use it elsewhere without permission. If you want to share it, share the link: that way the uploader gets their views.
Avoid sites and extensions that promise to “download any video”: many are full of misleading ads, and if the uploader didn’t allow downloads you’d be overriding their decision.
If you’re the uploader
From your dashboard you can always download your own videos, even if public downloads are off, and decide video by video whether the public can download them.
