Questions
Does the account owner get notified?
No. Saving a public video does not notify anyone.
Why does it say no video was found?
The post may be a photo, from a private account, deleted or age-restricted. Check the link opens without logging in.
Do you keep a copy?
No. We don’t store videos or the links you paste.
