Our training portal uses SproutVideo embeds and this extension finds them immediately. The MP4 output is clean and the quality chooser makes offline review easy.

About
Sprout Video Downloader captures videos hosted on sproutvideo.com as well as embedded players inside private portals, courses, and documentation. It detects the player, lists every available quality, and converts hosted streams into MP4 files you can store offline without juggling ffmpeg or manual URL scraping. Stay logged in to your SproutVideo account, choose the resolution you need, and the extension forwards authentication headers, downloads each segment, and merges them quietly in the background while you continue working.
Key Features
Detects SproutVideo players on sproutvideo.com, vids.io links, and third-party websites where SproutVideo is embedded.
Places a download button directly on detected players so you can start the workflow without leaving the video page.
Decodes base64 player data and script-level metadata to surface video title, poster, duration, and available formats.
Supports direct MP4 sources when the player exposes them and falls back to authenticated HLS processing when it does not.
Builds signed HLS requests using SproutVideo policy tokens so protected manifests, fragments, and keys can be processed correctly.
Handles password-protected SproutVideo videos with a password entry section in the popup instead of forcing manual retries.
Supports multiple detected videos on the same page so you can choose the exact embed you want instead of guessing.
Includes an inline download manager with progress, speed, queue state, and task tracking for longer downloads.
Uses offscreen processing and FastStream-style background handling so HLS-to-MP4 conversion does not lock up the active tab.
Auto-saves completed MP4 files to your Downloads folder with no external software, ffmpeg install, or command-line setup.
Works across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Whale, and Yandex on Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops.
Keeps media handling local in the browser while using email OTP only for activation, trial management, and license checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download a SproutVideo video?
Open a page with a SproutVideo player, let the video load, then click the in-player download button or the extension icon. Select the quality you want and keep the tab open while the file is saved as MP4.
Does it work on embedded SproutVideo players?
Yes. The extension is built to detect SproutVideo embeds on third-party sites, private portals, docs pages, and course platforms in addition to sproutvideo.com and vids.io links.
Can it download password-protected videos?
Yes. If the video is protected with a SproutVideo password, the popup includes a password section so you can unlock the player and continue through the normal download flow.
What quality options are available?
The extension lists the formats exposed by the player data and HLS manifests, sorted highest first. Depending on the source, you may see direct download entries plus HLS renditions such as source, UHD, HD, or SD.
What format are downloads saved in?
Downloads are saved as standard MP4 files. Direct MP4 sources are downloaded directly, while authenticated HLS streams are stitched and converted to MP4 inside the browser.
Can it detect more than one video on the same page?
Yes. If a page contains multiple SproutVideo embeds, the popup can list them so you can choose the right video instead of downloading the wrong player.
Do I need ffmpeg or desktop software?
No. The full workflow runs inside the browser extension, including authenticated stream handling, HLS processing, queue management, and final MP4 saving.
How does the free trial work?
After email OTP sign-in, you get 3 free downloads on the current device. Unlimited downloads require the paid subscription configured for this product.
Which browsers are supported?
Desktop support includes Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Whale, and Yandex on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Safari and mobile browsers are not supported.
Why is the downloader not finding my video?
Make sure the SproutVideo player has fully loaded before opening the popup. If the embed is lazy-loaded, refresh the page and wait for the player to initialize. Protected videos may also require you to enter the correct password first.
Is my data private?
Yes. Video detection, stream handling, and MP4 generation run locally in your browser. Remote requests are limited to activation, license checks, and update checks, not uploading the media itself.
Reviews
4.9 out of 5
I was able to download password-protected client videos without leaving the browser or chasing stream URLs. The queue and progress view are much better than generic downloaders.

It works on vids.io links and embedded players inside documentation pages, which was the main reason I bought it. Long HLS jobs finish reliably in the background.
