Tubeorigin Video Downloader
Recognises TubeOrigin's @creator/video addresses, catches the real stream as it plays and saves it as an MP4 in Chrome, Edge, Brave or Firefox.
Made for the @creator/video Route
Creators on TubeOrigin publish through their own personalised channels, and each video sits at an address shaped like @creator/video/<id>. Most generic downloaders don't understand that format. Either they never switch on, or they grab a thumbnail or an ad instead of the video, which leaves you inspecting network traffic by hand or trusting a questionable third-party service.
Tubeorigin Video Downloader targets exactly the hosts and routes TubeOrigin uses, on the main domain and its subdomains. While the video plays normally, it watches the network activity, finds the right media endpoint and shows the result in a small popup. No technical knowledge is required, since the extension handles detection internally.
Key Points
- Built specifically for
@creator/videopages; channel listings, category pages and other page types aren't supported - Media detection driven by network activity during ordinary playback
- A minimal popup for picking a quality and starting or managing downloads
- MP4 output that works across media players, mobile devices and file management systems
- Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox on desktop; mobile browsers aren't supported
- Activation with a one-time password sent to your email
- Regular updates published on GitHub Releases
Downloading a Creator Video
Open a TubeOrigin video whose address follows the @creator/video pattern. Public videos don't need a TubeOrigin account, but if a video requires authentication you'll have to log in to TubeOrigin first so you can watch it. Press play; that's what triggers the network requests the extension is listening for. Click the toolbar icon, look through the media it has detected, choose a quality and start the transfer. The MP4 lands in your local downloads folder, or in another folder you choose.
If the popup comes up empty, the usual reasons are that the video isn't actually playing yet or that the page isn't a @creator/video address; refresh and try again once both are true. If the popup won't open at all, reload the TubeOrigin tab before clicking the icon a second time, and reinstall from the newest release if it still refuses.
Keeping It Working
TubeOrigin can change how its pages are built, and that can throw detection off for a while. Running the latest release gives the best compatibility, and updating or reinstalling is also the usual cure for a permission error on TubeOrigin domains.
Downloads need an active internet connection, and bigger files need it to stay steady from start to finish; if a transfer stops partway, confirm you're online and retry. A saved file should end in .mp4; if it won't open, try a different player, since most modern ones play MP4 without extra codecs.
Save only those creator videos that you own yourself or that you've been explicitly allowed to keep.
FAQ
What kind of TubeOrigin URL does it need?
Video pages under a creator's handle, shaped like @creator/video/<id>, on the main domain and its subdomains.
Is a mobile version available?
There isn't one. Only desktop Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox are supported; phone and tablet browsers aren't.
Must I sign in to TubeOrigin?
Not for videos that are publicly accessible. If a video needs authentication, you'll have to be logged in to TubeOrigin to watch and save it.
I'm getting a permission error. How do I clear it?
Check that the extension is allowed to access TubeOrigin domains. Updating to the latest version or reinstalling it normally resolves the error.

No. It only activates on @creator/video pages; channel listings, category pages and other page types aren't covered.
Detection stopped working after a site change. What helps?
Install the newest release. TubeOrigin may adjust its page structure from time to time, and the latest version offers the best compatibility.
