@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.

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.
