Step 1: Open the Snapchat conversation with the user you send the video to. 

Step 2: Find the video you want to save and press down on it for a while.

Step 3: Tap “Save in Chat” from the list that comes up.

With these easy steps, you can watch that Snapchat video for as long as you want without worrying about the timer.

How To Capture Snapchat Video?

For those who want to capture longer moments or save their snaps for posterity, Snapchat provides a great way to do so by taking screenshots. When you take a screenshot of someone’s snap, they will be notified that you have done so. 

However, if you want to capture a video rather than just one still image, then things get a bit trickier. Fortunately, there are a few toolls you can use to capture video on Snapchat without notifying your friends that you’ve done so.

Third Party Apps Screen Recorder

The first way to record Snapchat videos is by recording your screen with a third-party app. There are many great apps available that allow you to record your screen while browsing through Snapchat or other apps, and you won’t get notified if someone else takes a screenshot or records the video. 

Use External Camera

Another option is to use an external camera or camcorder to record the video while playing it on your device. You may also be able to find an app that will save the videos from Snapchat directly onto your device without having to record them manually. 

No matter which method you choose, make sure you always keep in mind that people can still screenshot and share what you post on Snapchat–so always be aware of what you’re posting and remember that nothing posted online is ever truly private!

Key Takeaways

Voila! Snapchat made a good choice by excluding a simple “Save” option for the content sent by friends. After all, Snapchat has maintained the secrecy of its users’ snaps and the app’s reputation for being temporary. Asking for permission before saving someone else’s video or photo is polite. Thus, you can still record and keep videos from your camera phone. Prepare to begin recording your life’s most precious moments now. Happy Snapping!
