# Skool Video Downloader (Browser Extension)



A browser extension that adds a download button to Skool (`skool.com`) classroom pages to easily download videos for convenient offline viewing.



- Save entire school classrooms and course content for unlimited offline access anytime, anywhere

- Protect your educational investment by downloading all materials before courses expire or disappear

- Create a personal library of video lectures, assignments, and resources that you own forever

- Never lose access to paid courses again - backup everything before platforms shut down or remove content

## Reviews
































## Permissions Justifications



### activeTab  

We use the `activeTab` permission so the extension can interact with the currently open Skool lesson page when the user activates the extension. This is necessary to detect and process downloadable video content on the page.



### clipboardRead  

The `clipboardRead` permission is used so the extension can read download links or other relevant information from the clipboard, if the user chooses to copy a video URL or lesson link for processing within the extension.



### contextMenus  

We use the `contextMenus` permission to add right-click options, making it easy for users to initiate downloads or perform actions related to Skool classroom videos directly from the context menu.



### cookies  

The `cookies` permission is required to access authentication tokens and session cookies for Skool.com. This allows the extension to properly access and download videos that require user authentication.



### downloads  

We use the `downloads` permission to save videos from Skool classroom lessons to the user’s device for offline viewing. This is a core function of the extension.



### notifications  

The `notifications` permission is used to inform the user about the progress, completion, or errors related to downloads, improving transparency and user experience.



### offscreen  

The `offscreen` permission allows us to process video data or perform background tasks (such as fetching video streams) without interrupting the user’s browsing experience.



### scripting  

We use the `scripting` permission to inject and execute scripts on Skool lesson pages. This is necessary to identify video elements and facilitate downloading.



### webNavigation  

The `webNavigation` permission is needed to detect when the user navigates to new Skool lesson pages. This allows the extension to automatically update its state and provide download options on the correct pages.



## About



Skool is an online community platform that combines discussion forums, online courses, and private groups into one simple, distraction-free space designed for creators, educators, and entrepreneurs who want to build engaged communities, deliver content, and grow their businesses—all.



However, like many course platforms, they don't provide a way to download the videos that you (the actual users) pay for access to - or even offer an offline viewing option.



So we created a way for you to download your skool.com classroom videos even if you're not technically inclined.
