Step 2: Get Video Download Information

  1. Open the Tencent Meeting recording link in Google Chrome

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is my downloaded video incomplete?
  • The most likely reason is that you didn't delete the range field
  • Please go back to step 3 and make sure you deleted all range-related lines
  • Get the download command again and start over from the beginning
2. What if I can't find the range field?
  • Carefully check if the copied command contains range: or if-range:
  • If you really can't find it, it may not need to be deleted - just add the save path
  • If unsure, send the command to a tech-savvy friend for help
3. How to change the save location?

You can modify the --output parameter:

# D drive root directory
--output /d/video-name.mp4

--output /c/Users/your-username/Desktop/video-name.mp4
