How to Download Twitch Clips with Firefox
Although using an external source is helpful, sometimes it is better to download the clip directly from the browser. This allows you to choose the resolution you want to download and have more control over what you download to your computer. This is a surefire way to get the resolution you want for the clip you love.
Downloading Twitch clips directly from the browser is pretty easy. However, for the easiest method of downloading clips, you should definitely use Firefox. This used to work in Chrome too, but no longer seems to work in this browser. You need to use the Inspect tool, but once you do, the download process is very easy.
Step 1: Once you open the clip you want, set the quality of the video you want to download. Once you’ve figured out what resolution works best for you, pause the clip. Then right-click on the video and click Check.
Step 2: Scroll up a little until you see a line with a link that says “https://clips-media-assets2…” and ends with “.mp4” – you can copy and paste this line to Inspect afterwards to search elements. It may look a little different for different videos, but the beginning of the link will be the same everywhere.
