What you need
A browser and a link. That is the whole list. It works the same on Windows and macOS, on a personal machine or a locked-down work laptop, because nothing is installed and no administrator rights are requested.
Step by step
1Copy the video linkFrom the Dailymotion page in your browser.
2Paste it into VidMotionPress Get video.
3Choose a version and saveThe MP4 lands in your normal downloads folder.
Why not a desktop app
- Installed downloaders need updating, and outdated ones quietly stop working.
- They often want broad file-system or network access to do a narrow job.
- On a work machine they usually cannot be installed at all.
- A browser tab asks for nothing and leaves nothing behind.
Long videos take longer to prepare. A 30-minute file at high quality can take a little while to assemble — the page shows the download moving, so you can see it is working rather than wondering.
Honest limits
- Dailymotion links only.
- Up to 30 minutes and 500 MB per file.
- One download runs at a time, so a short queue may apply.
