This guide introduces the best methods to efficiently download videos as well as playlists from Dailymotion directly to your computer or mobile devices.

 

Method 1: Download videos from Dailymotion App for offline viewing

Like other video platforms, the official mobile app of Dailymotion offers a download feature to allow users to watch videos offline. It does not require any additional tools, but the download functionality is also very limited. First, not all videos are available for download. Also, the videos are just cached in the app, not saved to your gallery. And the best quality for downloading is limited to 720p, not 1080p or higher.

1. Download the Dailymotion app from your phone’s app store.
2. Sign in or register an account.
3. Search for the video you want to download.

To watch the downloaded videos, go to the Library tab -> Downloads section, where you can find and play all the downloaded videos. Swipe left to delete a video.
