How to Download Video From Google Chrome
The Google Chrome Web browser supports a variety of media files including text, images, music and videos. If a website offers video downloads, you can save the files to your computer. Files saved using this browser are automatically placed into a designated Downloads folder. Any downloadable video file may be saved to your computer by using the browser.

Launch the Google Chrome browser and navigate to the page which contains a download of the video you wish to save to your computer's hard drive.

Click on the link for the video download. Once you click the link, a toolbar appears at the bottom of the browser. This toolbar displays the progress of the download. The download is complete when the progress bar reaches %.

Click the arrow next to the downloaded file's name and choose "Open." If you want to see the file in the download folder first, select "Show in Folder" instead. Double-click the file name to begin watching the video.
