An account is not required to start using Video Downloader Plus. You can detect streams and run basic downloads the moment the extension is installed. An account becomes necessary when you want to store videos in your cloud library, sync across devices, or manage a subscription.

Create an account

Email registration

Go to the registration page

Open vidow.io/register in your browser.

Verify your email
