But there is a catch, there are certain limitations. Firstly there is an age limit, one must be a verified user plus it must be above 18 years old. Your video download setting will be automatically set to OFF if your account is associated with a minor, and you won’t be able to modify it in the settings.
Unless you choose to opt-out by disabling the Allow video to be downloaded option on your video while you are creating your Tweet, videos you submit to Twitter will begin to be downloadable by Verified subscribers as of July 25th, 2023. (Note: Videos posted before the 25th of July 2023 are not downloadable.)
Even if downloads are disabled, Twitter users can still post a link to your Tweet even while they can’t share your videos directly to third-party platforms.
