About SproutVideo Downloader
The moment a SproutVideo player loads, the extension adds its own button directly on the interface. Click it, and you're immediately taken to the save workflow. It works on sproutvideo.com, vids.io links, and any page with an embedded player.
If a page contains multiple SproutVideo embeds, you can easily pick the one you want. The extension then displays the available formats and qualities, from direct MP4 sources to authenticated HLS streams. Everything is assembled into a clean MP4 without needing ffmpeg.
Downloads run smoothly in the background, with speed and status always visible. Switch tabs or return later—your queue and progress are preserved. It's the fastest way to turn any SproutVideo into a permanent file on your device.

Happy Users
Recent customer feedback
Short, practical feedback from people using SproutVideo Downloader in real workflows.
Good for embedded training videos
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.

Handles protected videos properly
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.

Reliable across embeds and private pages
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.
