How to download a Dailymotion video
- Open the video. Find the public Dailymotion video you want.
- Copy the link. Tap Share, then Copy link — or copy the address bar URL on desktop.
- Paste it in. Paste the complete URL into the link box at the top of this page.
- Pick a quality. Choose one of the available options and select Download.
Supported Dailymotion links
Full links (dailymotion.com/video/…) and short dai.ly/… links both work for public videos. Some Dailymotion videos are only offered as a stream; when that is the only option, it opens in a new tab instead of saving as a file.
Why use Video Downloader Plus for Dailymotion
Free, no sign-up

Phone, tablet and PC

Private by design
We only read the public link you paste. Your Dailymotion account is never involved.
What isn't supported

If a link fails, confirm it opens in a private/incognito browser tab without signing in — see the link troubleshooting guide.
Frequently asked questions
Does the dai.ly short link work?
Yes, as long as it points to a public video.
Why does my download open in a new tab?
When Dailymotion only offers a stream (.m3u8) for a video, it can't be saved as a single file, so it opens as-is.
Why did my Dailymotion link fail?
Usually a private, geo-blocked or removed video. See Troubleshooting & Help.
