Hi,

A college recorded and sent a short video clip in Teams chat. The clip was recorded by a mobile device directly from the recording function in Teams chat: Send a video clip in Teams - Microsoft Support

I can view the video clip the Teams chat, but I want to download the file. The file is not in the "file" tab in the chat.

How can I download the video file from the chat?

Thank you!

    1. Send the video clips to yourself in teams.
    2. copy the entire message that you sent to yourself and paste it into the another chat to get it to other people in teams that you want to share it to.

    The only other way I've been able to get it out of teams is to bring it up full screen in teams and then do a screen record from a phone or screen capture app on your computer.

    Microsoft really needs to fix this. there should be no reason why a video can't be downloaded to your computer or onedrive directly from Teams.

    I'm not sure if this functionality was never in the iOS app, or if it has been removed since, but the "share" option never opens for this case. I had to screen-record the video in question.

    For me this happened when I was sent multiple videos in one message, the first one was un-downloadable, the other two showed up as downloadable files in the chat.

    Using screen record (in my case, Windows + G) as a workaround is ridiculous and should never have been necessary in the first place.

    Funnily enough, I can drag-n-drop the video's first frame onto my desktop when I have not started playback yet.

    This is not how it should be - but this is what worked for me:

    On my phone (only works on my phone, not on desktop), I long pressed on the video file and selected share, then I could select someplace to send it. If it is short, you can email it to yourself. You can send it to Dropbox or OneDrive. I luckily have an app where I can send it to our Synology NAS.

    It is not perfect, but it was the workaround that got me going. MS should definitely fix this.

    On the iPhone start a screen record, open the video from the teams app. This the only work around I found., hope it helps.
