How to watch private videos on PC
First, let's figure out how to see hidden videos in VK through a computer or laptop. Below we will look at the main methods.
Ask the user to share
If you want to watch a specific video on VK, ask the person to open access to it. If the video does not contain any confidential information, and you explain the reason for your interest, the user may agree. Alternatively, you can provide a link to view it on some other service.
Add as a friend
In a situation where access is limited only to other people's users, you can add yourself as a friend. Submit a request and perhaps you will be included in the “selected” group. After this, the path to watching videos of interest opens.
Use ID
One of the common methods is to watch hidden VK videos of a person by ID. This is a personal identifier that is assigned in relation to communities and specific users.
The action algorithm is as follows:
- Find the ID of the person you are going to watch a private video with. To do this, go to its page and copy the numbers in the search bar that will appear after the ID.
- Insert the line vk.com/video.php?act=tagview&id=ID or vkontakte.ru/video.php?id=ХХХХХХ into the browser URL bar, where ID or ХХХХХХ is the resulting character set. Try different options.
- Click on the Enter button and enjoy the videos.
Knowing how to watch hidden videos using ID VK, you do not always get access to restricted content. If a person has blocked the video with privacy settings, it will not be available. In this case, try using the methods discussed above - ask for access or add as a friend.
Via browser code
The method discussed above can be optimized and implemented through the browser source code. Do the following:
- Right-click on the desired VK page and select View page code.
- Press the combination Ctrl+F for an exact search.
- Enter Video or Albums (for photos) in the line that appears.
- Find the IDs you need.
- Close the source code page.
- In the browser page, enter vk.com/idхххххх, where instead of хххххх substitute the user ID.
- Place “?z=” after the identifier (remove the quotes), and then enter the identifier copied earlier. The final line may look like this: vk.com/id15684646368?z=video4844846764486.
Using this method, you can watch closed videos or albums of people you don’t know. As in the case discussed above, this method does not always work.
Through mutual friends
If you have mutual friends, you can contact a friend of the user who has posted the content you are interested in. Ask to download the video and forward it, while maintaining anonymity. When choosing this option, give preference to people you trust.
Special services
As an alternative, use special platforms that allow you to watch closed VK videos. We note right away that this method also does not give a 100% result, but it’s worth a try.
One of the options is Vkontakte.doguran.ru. This is a popular page where you can watch private videos, photos or other content. To solve this problem, copy the link to the page you are interested in, paste it into a special field on the site, and then click Send. Working with the interface is not difficult, and the available tips allow you to quickly navigate the capabilities of the platform.
Use the services of hackers
This is the most risky option, because it requires advance payment. At the same time, performers rarely guarantee results. In this case, there is a high risk of losing money and not getting results.
Download public video using plugins
Videos that are available for viewing by absolutely everyone are the majority of all video content. The VKontakte developers themselves did not add standard tools for downloading them, but there are special plugins that allow you to do this quite quickly.
VK Downloader, VKOpt, Musig Sig
These are quite popular extensions for the most common browsers. They all work on the same principle, so let’s look at the standard operating instructions:
- Go to the official extension store for your browser.
- In the search bar, enter the name of the extension that suits you best. You can try all three to evaluate the convenience.
- Click on the extension icon. Now, in the top right corner, find the “Install” button.
- Confirm the action in the pop-up window, log in to your VKontakte account and allow access to all data that the extension requests.
- Go to your page. You will now see additional buttons next to music and video. Click on the download icons to save the files on your PC.
Ready! However, there are other download methods.
