Nice, but next time download it instead of sending the instagram link.
How do you download it? I'm glad you asked.
How to easily download videos on Windows PC, from all regular websites:
(you need to know how to extract a 7z zip file (just use 7zip) and how to type a single word into a cmd window, or you're too boomer to use this)
1. Download and extract "ffmpeg": https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z
2. Download "youtube-dlp": https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest
Just get the "yt-dlp.exe" there and drop it in ffmpeg's bin folder
3. Open CMD or Powershell in the bin folder
You can do this easily by doing shift+rightclick in the bin folder, it will say "open powershell window here"
4. Now just type yt-dlp and paste the link:
to download this video, for example.
You can of course copy paste the link, you don't have to type it. You paste in cmd/powershell by right clicking with mouse.
This automatically downloads the best available quality video, and grabs an automatic video title (on youtube it uses the video title).
You can also use this to download youtube videos as mp3.
For example to download the Palästinalied crusader song, Just do the same thing, except add -x --audio-format mp3 like this:
If you get errors when trying to download, just do the -o thing and make your own filename, it usually fixes errors because they are too long, or have weird characters.
If you still get an error, try yt-dlp -U to update the thing.
Once you got the window open, you can quickly use it for another video, by using simple keyboard shortcuts.
In the window, press up arrow key to see the previously sent command. Then do ctrl+backspace to delete the previously used youtube link, then right click to paste the new youtube link from clipboard. So all you need to do each time is:
Up, ctrl+delete, rightclick, enter
So this literally takes like 2 seconds for each video.
Cheers if you got this far, Terry Davis would be proud. This tool is powerful enough to download playlists or entire channels from youtube, you can pick formats, download sections (crop the video) etc..
Oh and also a little life hack that works to just rightclick and download on some websites:
Try to just shift+rightclick on the video, this can bypass their own shitty player menu, showing more options like "download video", but it only works if there's like an actual mp4 video. If "download video" is greyed out, they use more advanced shit, but youtube-dlp is your friend for that 😉
