    Chrome blocks large Zoom downloads. This extension fixes that.
                                                                                                                                                        
    How to use:                                               
                                                                                                                                                        
    1. Open your Zoom recording page and play the video for 2-3 seconds                                                                                 
    2. Click Capture — the extension grabs the best download link automatically
    3. Click Download — done. Full MP4, saved to your machine.                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                        
    Why you need this:                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                        
    Zoom's recording URLs are protected. Chrome's built-in downloader gets blocked (403 errors, incomplete files, broken downloads). This extension     
    captures the authenticated URL with all the right headers and cookies, then downloads through a small local helper — same result as using cURL, but
    with zero effort.                                                                                                                                   
                                                              
    Features:
  
    • Auto-detects the best video URL (no dev tools needed)                                                                                             
    • Downloads full recordings of any size
    • Real-time progress tracking                                                                                                                       
    • Download history with one-click file access             
    • Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                        
    One-time setup:                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                        
    The extension needs a small helper app (~5MB) to bypass Chrome's download restrictions. Install takes 30 seconds — the extension guides you through 
    it. No admin rights needed, no background processes, fully open source.
                                                                                                                                                        
    Privacy:                                                  
  
    Everything runs locally. No servers, no cloud, no tracking. Your recordings never leave your machine.

  Download Zoom cloud recordings reliably in full quality.
  
    Some Zoom recordings use protected download links that Chrome does not save reliably. This extension helps you capture the correct link and save the file locally.
  
    How to use:
  
    1. Open your Zoom recording page and play the video for 2-3 seconds
    2. Click Capture to detect the best recording link from the current page
    3. Click Download to save the recording to your machine
  
    Why this helps:
  
    Some Zoom recording links depend on your current browser session and can fail in Chrome with expired links, blocked downloads, or incomplete files. This extension
    captures the recording link from the active page and uses a small local helper to save the file more reliably.
  
    Features:
  
    • Detects the best recording link automatically
    • Reliable local saving for protected or large recordings
    • Real-time progress tracking
    • Download history with one-click file access
    • Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux
  
    One-time setup:
  
    The extension uses a small desktop helper (~5MB) for direct local file saving when Chrome download flow is not reliable. Setup takes about 30 seconds. No admin rights
     needed. Source code is public for review.
  
    Privacy:
  
    Everything runs locally on your device. No third-party servers, no cloud processing, no tracking. Your recordings stay on your machine.

  Capture Zoom recording URLs and download reliably via native helper.

  Capture Zoom recording links and save them locally with optional desktop helper support.

  • Product Description
  
    - Capture Panel: Automatically detects the active Zoom replay link (network + DOM scan, best match scoring) and shows the shortened URL, metadata, and copy action—so
      grabbing the correct file takes two taps instead of hunting through dev tools.
    - Download Flow: The “Download” button calls your local native host to stream a curl download with all required headers/cookies. Progress is tracked in-app, errors trigger
      friendly guidance (“Refresh & recapture the Zoom link, then retry”), and when the job finishes you can open the file location directly.
    - Native Host Setup: The card shows the install status (checking / installed / missing) and only reveals the installer command when the helper isn’t present. Copy the
      command or open the hosted shell script to finish setup, then the extension can run cURL locally without hitting Chrome’s download blockers.
    - History + Reliability: Every successful native download is logged with timestamp, shortened link, and “Open” action. Incomplete or stale downloads are grayed out, and the
      list only refreshes when the history actually changes—so the UI stays calm while a large file is progressing.
  
    Why install
  
    - Saves time vs. manual capture: once you press “Capture,” the best Zoom recording URL is selected for you.
    - Works around Chrome download limits by delegating to your own native cURL helper, so large Zoom recordings download reliably while you keep track of progress.
    - Provides a safety check for missing files/history entries and keeps the configuration self-documenting: you always know whether the native host is installed and where the
      downloaded file lives.

  Download Zoom cloud recordings — fast, full quality, no limits.
