Community memberships end — save every Circle video, replay, and lesson as MP4 before your access disappears.
Circle communities are packed with valuable content: course lessons, coaching replays, member-only workshops. All of it sits behind a membership. Cancel, get removed, or let the subscription lapse, and every video you were learning from disappears. The community owner controls the switch, and there is no download button to save what matters to you.
This extension adds that download button. Open any Circle post, lesson, or course page, play the video, and click the extension icon. It automatically detects the video regardless of which player the community creator used, whether they uploaded directly to Circle, recorded with Tella or Loom, or embedded from Vimeo, YouTube, or Wistia. Pick your quality and it saves as a clean MP4 file to a dedicated folder on your computer. Right-clicking a video and starting the download straight from the page also works.
The built-in download manager handles up to three videos at once, and completed files save automatically without repeated prompts. Three free downloads are included after a quick email sign-in, no credit card needed. Everything processes locally in your browser, so your videos never pass through outside servers.
No command line, no screen recording, and no extra workflow outside your browser.

Visit any Circle page with native video or an embedded supported player that your current session can already access.
Start playback so the source loads, then use the popup or context menu to pick the rendition you want.
The extension downloads the direct file or converts the HLS or DASH stream locally, then saves the finished MP4 to Downloads/Circle Downloader.
Short, practical feedback from people using Circle Video Downloader in real workflows.
Our Circle cohort mixes native videos, Loom walkthroughs, and Tella replays. This keeps all of it in one folder and the download manager makes longer saves easy to track.

It finds the embedded players generic tools miss, especially inside deeper Circle lesson layouts. The MP4 output is clean and the quality choices are useful.

I mainly use it for member-only lesson libraries before trips. Everything stays local and the notifications tell me when each video is ready.
