Download Wistia videos - Please do not misuse it!

Download Wistia videos

  1. right-click on the playing video, select Copy link
  2. find Wistia video ID in the copied link e.g. wvideo=tra6gsm6rl
    • alternative: look for e.g. hashedId=tra6gsm6rl in the page source
  3. load http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/ + video ID in your browser
  4. look for "type":"original" in the page source and copy the URL from the next line e.g. "url":"http://embed.wistia.com/deliveries/129720d1762175bcd8e06dcab926ec76ad38ff00.bin"
    • alternative: look for "type":"hd_mp4_video"
  5. download the video from the URL with .mp4 extension instead of .bin

Hi @berroz1 Wistia admins can make any video private. It is independent of platform. Thinkfic type platforms just use the embed code to show to end users.

HI guys! I created a Chrome extension that does just that in a click of a button: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fhmlmcbfjnegdoafmfcfmhpahfegdjlp?authuser=1&hl=en

I'd really appreciate it if you can give me your feedback after trying it. Any bugs, anything I can improve on it?

Perfect thank you so much!

@berroz1 Thank you that worked. One thing I'd like is if it worked for video #3 & #6 here: https://www.shipyard.fyi/ (specifically Quin Gable & Rebecca Louise)... the rest worked.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the extension works for you! Regarding that website, the problem seems that the videos are loaded in a popup overlay and so aren't detected. I'll see what I can do about that.

Hello, this was fixed with the new version released today, please try it out and let me know :)
PS: Quin's video is in vertical format and the top is clipped, so you need to zoom out to reveal the download button as shown below. And make sure you got version 1.0.19

Have you tried this Chrome extension? It enables you to download directly within the Wistia video frame. Let me know if it serves your purpose.
