Instagram gives you no way to download videos from the desktop website — no button, no right-click save, nothing. But the workaround is simple: all you need is the link to the post. From there, a browser-based tool does the rest in seconds.
How to Get the Instagram Video Link on Desktop
Open Instagram in your browser, find the post with the video you want. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the post → Copy link. Or simply copy the URL from the address bar. Either format works.
