How downloads work when the site allows them

Downloading is optional on Playbob. When it is allowed, a download action can show on the watch page and in the owner's library. When it is not allowed, those buttons are absent. You cannot force a download from a page that does not offer one.

What the file is

The download is the stored upload, the same file people can play. It is not a recompressed copy and not a different resolution. If you need another size, make that file before you upload. The site does not create it during the download.

On the watch page the button is there for viewers when downloads are enabled. In your library the download link is there for you under the same rule. The library also counts downloads on the video, next to views, size, and extension.

• Download returns the original uploaded file.
• Availability follows site download settings.
• Owners see the same rule in the library.
