Video DownloadHelper on Microsoft Edge
Edge is a Chromium browser, so Video DownloadHelper behaves much like it does on Chrome — with Edge’s own add-on store and settings.
SHORT ANSWERInstall from the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store, pin the icon, and remember Edge saves to your system Downloads folder unless you change it.
Install in Edge
- Open the Edge Add-ons listing and click Get.
- Accept permissions and pin the toolbar icon.
- Play a video, then open the extension to see detected streams.
Edge specifics
- Download location is set under edge://settings/downloads.
- Because Edge is Chromium, most Chrome guidance applies unchanged.
- You can allow the extension on specific sites from its permissions menu.
Known limits
As on other browsers, YouTube is restricted by the platform and DRM-protected services cannot be captured.
