Wistia video player is used by a lot of websites, mainly, e-learning websites and it is completely annoying when you have to leave a module halfway just because of your poor wifi connection.

There are many free browser extensions and software that you can use to download the Wistia videos but let me be honest, I’m always skeptical when I have to install such extensions or free software as they may have malware and adware hidden inside them. You don’t need any Wistia video downloader to download Wistia videos.

In this tutorial, I’ll explain to you how to download a Wistia video without using any software or a browser extension.

Disclaimer: Every website has a policy for downloading or saving their videos, I suggest you go through their policies first and then download the videos.
