Surely you have sometimes viewed an interesting video on the social network Twitter. These videos can be shared by default, using the Tweet share function offered by the Twitter social network itself. However, this function does not meet the needs of all users since in reality what we do is share the Tweet but not the video as such.

This makes many users wonder if there is any possibility of downloading Twitter videos locally in MP4 format so that they can later share it freely with other social networks or even physically / locally. It should be noted that sharing or publishing videos downloaded from Twitter can lead to a conflict of plagiarism as long as the source or creator is not mentioned correctly..
This possible mistake is not made if we share a video from Twitter by default, since by publishing the video Tweet, you are intrinsically contributing the source of the video. In the case of downloading a video from Twitter, we will have to keep this aspect in mind and above all not fall into the illegitimate authorship of said content.
Be that as it may, if you want to download the video of a Tweet from Twitter there is a way to do it and get it in a local file. However, to download it we must make use of a third-party service. Here we show you how to download videos from Twitter:
