Skool Video Downloader

Overview

Skool cohorts close. Memberships expire. When they do, every lesson, replay, and community video you relied on vanishes overnight.

This extension fixes that. Open any Skool classroom lesson, community post, or course module, press play on the video, click the extension icon, pick your quality, and the full video saves as an MP4 straight to your computer. It works regardless of which video player the creator used. The extension handles all of them automatically, so you never have to figure out where the video is actually hosted.

Queue up to three downloads at once and watch progress in real time. Every file is processed inside your browser, meaning your videos never pass through outside servers. Try it free with 3 downloads, no credit card needed. Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, and more.

Why It Exists

• Archive Skool lessons and replays before cohorts or memberships end
• One extension handles every video platform on Skool — no need to install separate tools for Loom, Vimeo, YouTube, or Wistia
• Study offline during travel or low-connectivity periods without buffering
• Keep downloads private with all processing handled on your own device

Reviews

• Works with private communities (4.9/5): My membership site locks lessons to members only. The downloader honoured my login automatically and the MP4 quality is flawless. - Theo Richter
• Offline study made simple (4.8/5): I travel often and need lessons offline. This keeps downloads private and never asks for extra credentials. - Ines Navarro

Is this legal?

We give you full control over download speeds because we believe users should decide how they use their software.

That said, here are a few widely accepted best practices for safe, responsible downloading:

• Only download content you created, own, or have explicit permission from the rights holder to access.

• Protect your personal data by respecting platform rules and rate limits with reasonable download speeds to avoid automated abuse systems putting your account at risk.

• Protect your privacy by using a reputable VPN for IP protection before initiating downloads — this is the VPN we recommend & use.
