    Invidio.us is over.

    Use any of the other Invidious instances (I quite like Snopyta's for having the proxy video setting on by default).

    TIL Thanks!

    Edit: Still broken. Trying to get: /s/conspiracy/comments/6g5o/israel_systematically_hides_escaped_american/p0cg

    Not just for that video, but a solution to get all the blocked ones.

    The video in the comment you link to works for me on invidious.fdn.fr. Did you try with the proxy video settings on, or the dash video quality enabled, or both? If not, I would recommend trying that if the problem is they're blocked since both these settings find a proxy server that isn't geoblocked.

    https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=unPXNF1kND8 doesn't fully work for me. The proxy is on, and I even created an account, but I've tried many times with many of the instances and can't download. Oddly enough it plays within the Invidious instance. I can watch it, which is good, but I like to archive everything to one day share again.

    Just right-click on the video and press the 'Save video as' button. The download button on all the instances I use is broken for me too.

    OMG, I was so focused on the "download" button that I hadn't thought of that.
    Unfortunately the "save video as..." is greyed out.
    As I inspect the page I can't find the video either.
    Finding a solution in general would be good, but I don't need this particular video.

    The button is not greyed out for me. When it is, is always when the video doesn't play, so the video playing within the instance but the save video button is very odd.

    I have two solutions. One would be to play the video in the instance and record it with a screen recorder. The other would be to click on the 'page info' button (that is right next to the U.R.L. in the address bar), click on the button with 'More Information...' on it, click on the 'Media' tab, find the video, and press the 'Save as...' button.

    The "download" button is fine but when pressed opens another tab that fails.

    The right click over video menu has "save video as..." greyed out, along with a couple other options, while all the working options are in white.

    What browser do you use? I'm in Brave.
