Video downloads are diverse, but I personally prefer idm's sniffing plug-in, what you see is what you get, and you can directly use the sniffing plug-in to download the video after opening the video. What should I do if the idm video cannot be sniffed? The idm video cannot sniff the content, largely due to the problem of the video format, we can enhance the function of the plug-in by modifying the sniffing format. How to open the idm sniffing function? Just turn on the switch in the plugin center. Let's see the detailed operation below!

There are two situations for installing plug-ins. One is the first installation of idm on the computer, which requires no operation, and the plug-in can be added directly by opening the browser.
