You should also not forget about the universal options discussed separately if you are not satisfied with the console of the browser and expansion.

Method 1: Developer Console

The most affordable solution on the PC allows you to download IGTV from Instagram, comes down to using the browser console. As part of the example, we will be involved in Yandex.Browser, which has a number of own features, but the instruction is still relevant for other similar programs.

Option 3: Universal solutions

To date, there are at least two universal solutions for downloading IGTV video from Instagram, which is reduced to the use of special online services and bots from Telegraph. Both decisions presented further are available on a fully free basis with the ability to receive files in source quality.

Method 1: Online Services

4. To download, scroll down the page below and click the "Download MP4" button. After selecting the save place, the download will start, as in the case of any other video.



Method 2: Telegram

You can get the IGTV video from Instagram using Telegram using special bots, one of which will be considered as an example. Specifically, this option is intended for downloading rollers exclusively from open accounts, while for closed profiles you can find solutions, as a rule, requiring authorization through the social network.

1. Which of the bots were not used, in any case, you will need a link to IgTV video. For this reason, the first thing to open the mobile application or the social network website and in the appropriate section open the desired roller.



2. During playback at the bottom of the screen, use the three-point button and in the pop-up block, click "Copy Link". This will lead to the appearance of notification and adding the URL to the clipboard.



3. Now open the downloaded and prepared Telegram app, using the icon on the top panel, start searching and enter the identifier below. From the results you need to select a suitable bot and use the "Start" button.

   @Saveasbot.

5. If the video file size does not exceed 50 MB, you can download via the messenger. To do this, touch the icon with three points on the sent recording and in the pop-up block to use one of the options "Save B ...".



6. Due to the features of the IGTV, the size of the final file is most often significantly higher than the specified value, and therefore downloading through the telegrams will be blocked. But you can use the link "Download Video", go to the browser and complete the preservation by analogy with the first method of this section of the instruction.



In the second case, be sure to read the instructions for downloading the video on iOS devices, as the procedure may differ slightly. The video will be located in the gallery and standard folder with downloads.
