Common questions
How do I download a Dailymotion video?
Copy a public dailymotion.com/video/…, dai.ly, embed, or geo player URL, paste it above, click Download, preview the MP4, then save through your browser. DRM-style protected delivery, private, and 18+ videos will not work.
Do dai.ly short links work?
Yes. Paste dai.ly short codes exactly as copied — SMDownloader expands them to the canonical /video/ page before download.
Can I download a playlist or channel?
No. Open the specific public video and paste that video link. Playlist and channel pages are rejected.
Do private or 18+ videos work?
No. Explicit, private, password-protected, live, and geo-blocked titles are refused even when Dailymotion still lists a stream.
What format do I get?
A remuxed MP4 at the quality Dailymotion exposes to logged-out viewers. Preview the file before you save.
Why did my Dailymotion URL fail?
Common causes: a playlist or channel page, an 18+ or private title, a live stream, geo blocking, or an incomplete URL. Confirm the clip plays in an incognito window without logging in, then retry once.
Do embed and geo player links work?
Yes when they include a video id. A geo player URL without ?video= is not enough.
Do I need a Dailymotion account?
No account on SMDownloader — but the video must be public. Login-walled pages cannot be fetched by our servers either.
