So, this the official method to download video from hotstar within the hotstar app itself. The only downside of this trick is that you won’t be able to share the downloaded locally with your friends, because yo can’t access the video file from your Phone’s file manager nor Gallery. The very next option you have is to use a screen recording software.
Screen Record Video
In this method, we are going to use a Screen Recording software to capture everything that is being played by Hotstar. Smartphone-like Xaoimi devices with MIUI have built-in Screen Recording app that let you screen record Hotstar video contents. If you are having a phone with no built-in Screen Recorder then follow the below-given steps to record it.
First, go to the link below and then select any Screen Recording App of your choice. Once you have made the selection, Go and install it right away.
Now, open the screen recording software
Open hotstar and find the video you want to download. After that play it in full screen and landscape mode
Turn ON the recorder and now onwards every time you watch a video on Hotstar make sure that you open Screen Recorder and record it at the same time.
Now, find the .mp4 file of the video in your gallery and share it with your friends.
Bottom Line…
These are the top working methods to download any Hotstar video right into your device and save it for offline use. No matter if you are using A Smartphone/ Tablet or a PC/Laptop, this trick works with everyone single one of them. I have personally searched for this a lot and found some sites. But, none of them worked. So, that is the reason Why I wrote this article. The feature which Hotstar introduced in their app last few months ago is really helpful in saving offline videos. Just like what you do to save video offline on YouTube. If you are someone outside of India, you may not be able to access Hotstar. In this case, you may try this trick to Unblock Blocked Sites or any VPN of your choice.
Now, share this article with your friends and let them know about this trick, too. Also, be sure to comment down if you have any doubt or query to clear. I will catch you at the soonest.
