How to Download an Embedded Video from a Website

by Leave a Comment

There are many websites that offer online free learning but not every site makes them available to be downloaded for offline or future reference.

In this guidepost, we will see how to download an embedded video from a website using the inspect element feature (Chrome Developer Tools). We don’t need to use any software, or Chrome Extension – with a few simple steps you will have your favorite video downloaded to your local computer.

Now, this won’t work on websites that are intentionally streaming videos for commercial reasons, such as tutorials, Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, etc. More often than not, such websites encrypt or protect their videos for obvious reasons, as that’s their business model.

So, please protect copyright policies and don’t abuse this feature and use only for your personal and educational purposes.

I created a short video to show this technique rather than telling how to do.

Here’s how, watch it here:

How to Embed Custom Fonts Within Word Document

by Leave a Comment

Sometimes we use a fancy and stylish font to create our ebook or word document that looks great on our computer.

But when we send this document to a friend, they don’t see the font style but a regular font staring at them.

This happens because the stylish font we used to type our document is installed only on our computer and our friend hasn’t installed it.



To resolve this issue we need to EMBED that stylish or a different font WITHIN our Word Document.

Here’s how to Embed Fonts into a Word Document

We must first know the font-face name that we’ve used so that it can be embedded into our Word Document.

If you don’t have the font file, download it from the internet – sites like dafont.com has plenty to choose from.

Just remember to use the free ones and not the copyrighted ones. The below video will walk you through the process in detail. Please comment below if this helped you.
