Downloading videos from VKontakte

1. First of all, you will need to install the VkOpt add-on. Please note that the add-on must be downloaded exclusively from the official website of the developer, since there are a large number of fakes on the Internet that can cause serious damage to your security. You will find a link to download the add-on at the end of the article.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Once the add-on installation is complete, you will need to restart your browser for the changes to take effect.
   
   
3. This completes the installation process, which means you can proceed directly to using the add-on. To do this, go to the VKontakte website and open the video you want to download.
   
   
   
   
   
4. To the right of the video is a small toolbar, on which you will find an icon with an arrow pointing down - this is the download button.
   
   
   
   
   
5. When you hover your mouse over this button, an additional menu will pop up in which you will need to select the quality for the downloaded video, for example, we want to download the video in HD quality, which means we select 720.
   
   
   
   
   
6. The browser will immediately begin downloading the video. By default, the video will be downloaded to the folder specified in the browser settings (if you have not changed it, then this is the standard “Downloads” folder).
   

As you can see, the method shown allows you to quickly and, most importantly, efficiently download any videos from the VKontakte service. If you know other solutions that are suitable for this purpose and work with the new VK design, please tell us about them in the comments.
