SproutVideo-hosted course videos have no download button. Streaming works until you're on a plane, your internet drops, or the course creator changes platforms. Then the content you paid for becomes inaccessible. This extension adds the download button SproutVideo lacks. It works on SproutVideo's own site, vids.io links, and anywhere a SproutVideo player is embedded, including course platforms, client portals, and documentation sites. Password-protected videos are supported. Enter the password in the extension and continue. Pick your quality, and the video saves as a standard MP4 on your computer. Pages with multiple videos are handled cleanly so you can grab exactly the one you need. A built-in download manager tracks progress for longer videos, and everything runs locally in your browser. Your videos are never routed through anyone else's servers. Three free downloads are included to try it out.
Key Features
- Detects SproutVideo players on sproutvideo.com, vids.io links, and third-party websites where SproutVideo is embedded.
- Places a download button directly on detected players so you can start the workflow without leaving the video page.
- Decodes base64 player data and script-level metadata to surface video title, poster, duration, and available formats.
- Supports direct MP4 sources when the player exposes them and falls back to authenticated HLS processing when it does not.
- Builds signed HLS requests using SproutVideo policy tokens so protected manifests, fragments, and keys can be processed correctly.
- Handles password-protected SproutVideo videos with a password entry section in the popup instead of forcing manual retries.
- Supports multiple detected videos on the same page so you can choose the exact embed you want instead of guessing.
- Includes an inline download manager with progress, speed, queue state, and task tracking for longer downloads.
- Uses offscreen processing and FastStream-style background handling so HLS-to-MP4 conversion does not lock up the active tab.
- Auto-saves completed MP4 files to your Downloads folder with no external software, ffmpeg install, or command-line setup.
- Works across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Whale, and Yandex on Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops.
- Keeps media handling local in the browser while using email OTP only for activation, trial management, and license checks.
Customer Reviews
Avery McLean
Our training portal uses SproutVideo embeds and this extension finds them immediately. The MP4 output is clean and the quality chooser makes offline review easy.

I was able to download password-protected client videos without leaving the browser or chasing stream URLs. The queue and progress view are much better than generic downloaders.

Trent Howard
It works on vids.io links and embedded players inside documentation pages, which was the main reason I bought it. Long HLS jobs finish reliably in the background.
