Saving Stories

Many sites now do "stories" (brief video clips in phone size proportions) that are only available for 24 or so hours, but we may still want to keep a copy. Typically these are MP4s and if you know you way around your web browser's developer console, then you can get the link to actual file.

Alternatively, tools such as Story Saver (not endorsed) can help. There are probably others, but this is the one I used myself.

As always, judgement should be given as to whether the story is intended for a private or public audience. Also, avoid stories that have too much text or emojis on them or anything else that potentially reduces the quality of the video.

Whatever you do, avoid screen recordings as best you can, since they frequently are low quality or include unwanted UI artefacts.
