So, overnight LPSG has removed the ability to download videos.
I can understand that many posted in the forums are taken from other sites and probably shouldn't be there in the first place and downloadable. But what about ones uploaded exclusively here?
My biggest gripe is ones sent from one member to another in private conversations. If I make a video especially for that person to see, I want them - if they want - to be able to download it to view when and where they want, and vice versa.
In my opinion, a video sent from one user to another is a gift, and LPSG shouldn't have the right to deny users from downloading their private content.
Whether it's a shortcoming with my phone or my internet service, I often find trying to watch videos on here a bit hit and miss, and bizarrely it's often quicker to download them to view. If I can't do that, there isn't going to be much point in exchanging videos privately anymore.
 
I have since found that if you touch/click on a video, eventually a pop-up appears that allows you to download it (rather than touching/clicking the three dots that has now had the "Download" ability removed). But I hope this isn't the beginning of phasing out downloading altogether, and especially not one-to-one private videos.
 
hey every1! i have a diff issue regarding vids; i just made this acc and I can't view any vids at the 3 / 7 / 5 min mark? is it because my acc is too new? or did they remove that feature too? (this isnt my first acc so i know u could view vids during those times). ty! :3
 
I don't know for sure because I didn't find out about the 3/5/7 trick till after I got verified, but it might just be because your account is very new. I think you have to get a certain number of "likes" before some features are unlocked.

How were you able to download? I can't seem to figure it out haha

If you're using a phone, just touch the video picture (it needn't be playing) : a pop-up message will appear saying "Download video"... just tap the message. Same thing if you're on a computer, just click. 😁
