Now, we are going to search the application for the tweet that contains the video we want to download. Next to the name of the author of the tweet in question there is a drop-down arrow. Open it and choose the section 'Copy link from tweet'. Now, we are going to go to the Chrome browser and open the following page: twdown.net. On the page we paste the previous link and click on 'Downolad'. On the next screen, we choose the quality at which we want to download the video and we keep pressing 'Download' for a few seconds. A new dialog screen will open where we will have to choose 'Download link'.
