How to Download 🔽 a Video 📺 From Streamable
Streamable is a popular video upload and share service. The only problem is the streamable website does its best to make sure you can only view Streamable videos while at the Streamable.com website. Can't say we blame them but none-the-less you and I both want to be able to download videos from Streamable regardless of what they want.
When you right click one of their videos you get a limited context menu and downloading a video is not one of the menu options so we simply have to improvise and fortunately, accomplishing this objective is quite simple and pretty much the same process regardless of the web browser you are using.
