To download a Twitter/X video, you first need the correct post link. Copying the wrong link is one of the most common reasons a video downloader does not work.
This guide shows you how to copy a Twitter/X video link on desktop, iPhone, and Android.
What Link Do You Need?
You need the link to the public post that contains the video. A profile link, search link, hashtag link, or copied text will not work. The best link is the direct URL to the specific post/status where the video appears.
How to Copy a Twitter/X Video Link on Desktop
Open X in your browser and find the post with the video. Click the post to open it on its own page. Then copy the URL from your browser address bar. After copying the link, paste the link into XSave and start the download.
How to Copy a Twitter/X Video Link on iPhone
Open the X app and find the video post. Tap the share icon. Choose Copy link or Copy link to post. Then open Safari, go to XSave, tap the input box, and paste the link. See the download Twitter videos on iPhone for the full iPhone flow.

Common Copy Link Mistakes
Avoid copying the profile URL instead of the post URL, copying only the post text, copying a link to a quoted post that does not contain the video, copying a search result URL, copying a broken shortened link, or copying a link from a deleted or private post.
How to Check If the Link Is Correct
Paste the copied link into a new browser tab. If it opens the exact post with the video, the link is probably correct. If it opens a profile, search page, login page, or video link may fail, copy the link again.
Why the Correct Link Matters
XSave uses the public post URL to locate the media. If the URL does not point to the correct post, the downloader cannot know which video you want.
Conclusion
To copy a Twitter/X video link, open the exact public post, use the share button or browser address bar, and paste the full link into XSave. A correct link is the first step to a successful download.
