3,695 Pointscan't download video
When I click on the standard and hi def videos, it just takes me to a new page to play the videos, but doesn't allow me to download it. Am I missing something? I've noticed this in a bunch of other pages as well.
Thanks!

When the link is to the direct file like this, to download, right-click (or long-click for Apple) on it and select "Save link as..." and then name it and save to the appropriate folder.

3,558 PointsHi, I was able to access the download bar for my current course Console Foundations yesterday and download some videos until I hit second last module in the course and can't find the download tab to appear anymore. Same goes for the previous modules I have completed and already downloaded videos from those modules but now I can't find the tab anymore. Why is this happening? Any help/feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
