I am doing a microcredential through a UK university on FutureLearn and the video steps are the most valuable part. This lets me download them to rewatch during my commute on the Tube.

About
FutureLearn courses come with a catch most learners discover too late: free access is time-limited, and once your course window closes, the video lectures get locked behind an upgrade paywall. Paid learners can also lose access when a course is retired or restructured. There is no built-in way to save the videos to your computer. This extension solves that. Open any FutureLearn course step with a video, click the download button, and the lecture saves as an MP4 at its original quality. No quality loss, no extra software needed. Working through a full course or microcredential? Queue up multiple steps and the extension downloads them one by one while you focus on studying. Automatic retry handles connection interruptions without losing progress. Files are organized by course and week number so your offline library is easy to navigate. Everything runs locally in your browser with nothing sent to outside servers. UK students on university short courses, international learners on microcredentials, and anyone with unreliable broadband who needs lectures cached locally will find this the simplest way to keep course content available on their terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with FutureLearn's free and paid courses?
The extension works with video content that is loaded in your browser during an active FutureLearn session, regardless of whether you are on a free or upgraded track.
Can I download all videos from a FutureLearn course at once?
You can navigate to each course step that contains a video and add it to the download queue. The extension processes them sequentially so you can queue multiple steps and let it run.
What format are the downloaded videos?
Videos are saved as MP4 files at the same resolution FutureLearn delivers them, typically 720p or 1080p depending on the course producer.
Does this download articles and quizzes from FutureLearn?
The extension focuses specifically on video content. Text-based steps, quizzes, and discussion activities are not captured.
Is my FutureLearn account safe to use with this extension?

Living in a rural area with unreliable broadband, this extension lets me download my FutureLearn lectures when I have a good connection and study them offline all week.

I take multiple FutureLearn short courses simultaneously. Being able to batch queue downloads from each course and organize them by week has been a real time saver.

123movies Downloader
123movies Downloader is a purpose-built Chrome extension that tracks down the hidden HLS streams powering 123movies mirrors and turns them into clean MP4 files. It recognises the moment a video starts playing, captures the source, and keeps quality identical to what you see online so buffering and pop-ups never ruin the copy you save.
Downloads run in resilient chunks with automatic retries, making two-hour films as reliable as quick clips. A clear status bar walks through scanning, fetching, and merging so you always know whether the stream is still downloading or already processing the final MP4.
Activation is handled with a simple email and lifetime licence key. After unlocking, just open a mirror, press play, and click Process Stream to watch the extension assemble a finished MP4 directly in your browser’s downloads folder without touching external servers.
Keep the tab open while it works, remember that DRM-protected platforms stay off limits, and consider a dedicated browser profile if you prefer running high-permission extensions in their own space.

Alpha Porno Downloader
Alpha Porno Video Downloader zeroes in on alphaporno.com video players so you can save clips for offline viewing in a couple clicks. It scans each page for hidden MP4 and HLS manifests, surfaces every quality option, and lets you decide exactly what lands in your downloads folder.
Concurrent downloads mean you can queue multiple clips at once, watch progress bars inline, and keep browsing while the extension finishes its work. A right-click shortcut and compact popup deliver quality selection, speed indicators, and discreet desktop notifications when each file wraps.
Licence activation takes seconds and settings stay local, so nothing leaves your browser beyond a quick licence check. The extension only runs on AlphaPorno domains, keeping the rest of your browsing untouched and your saved copies private.
Keep the source tab open until the merge completes, remember it cannot grab DRM-protected streams, and consider splitting long sessions into batches so your hardware can stitch complex HLS videos without slowing down.

Beeg Video Downloader
Beeg Video Downloader automates the HLS-to-MP4 conversion that keeps most Beeg videos locked to streaming. It detects the player as soon as it loads, captures the hidden playlists, and gives you a clean list of quality options so you can archive clips in the resolution you prefer.
A guided popup displays bitrate, estimated file size, and stream type before you download. Once you start, an inline progress manager tracks segment speed, percentage, and ETA while background workers stitch the MP4 together with retries whenever a chunk fails.
The extension keeps everything local—licence details, quality presets, and downloaded files never leave your browser. Desktop notifications and a right-click shortcut make saving multiple videos at once as simple as queuing them and returning when the alerts fire.
Activation requires a one-time licence and it is worth letting each tab stay open until processing completes. HLS conversion takes a little CPU time, but you get lossless MP4 copies without juggling developer tools or command-line scripts.
