How do I find the direct URL to a video or audio file?

If you want to download a video from an unsupported service, you will need to find the video’s direct source URL. Every website is different in how it is coded so these methods will not work for all websites.

Right-click on the video: Some video players are encoded with an option to “copy source URL.” If you right click on the video and this is enabled, click “copy source URL” and paste into Batch for the video.

Use the Video Download Helper plugin: Video Download Helper is a Chrome plugin that finds the source URL for a video. Please see the plugin’s documentation for the latest instructions on how to use it to find source URLs.

Inspect element: In Google Chrome, you can right-click on a video (or near it) and click “inspect element.” This will bring up the source code for the page and should highlight the code for what you selected with the right-click. You may need to expand further nested code to find a source tag (it will say “src=” in front of a URL), if it’s available.

How can I tell that I have access to Batch?

The easiest way to tell if you have access to Batch is by checking if you have the button in your Portal to take you to our Batch page.
