Extension summary
Video Downloader for IW is a lite addon that lets you easily download desired videos from the Instagram web.
Simply add the add-on to your browser and open the Instagram page. Once the add-on is active (the toolbar icon is dark grey) you will see a download icon next to any video (on the top left corner side). Please click on the icon to download the video to your machine. Please note that the download location is the default location for download in your browser. This add-on tries to capture and download the highest-resolution video to your machine.
Note 1: due to the recent changes in the Instagram app, video and audio files are now downloaded separately for an item. Once you click the download button, please wait for a few seconds for the extension to capture download links.
Note 2: to combine (mux) audio and video files together and make a single video, you can use the Video & Audio Muxer extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-audio-muxer/pegcngnogjhiaaogjnlghcinoleocmcl).
To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/video-downloader-for-instagram.html).
