How to download

1
Get a Channels post link
Make sure you have the link of a single Channels post, or share text containing it. A forwarded card without a link will not work, and neither will a profile link.
2
Pick an entry point
To keep one in the knowledge base, click + and Add link. From your phone, use Phone Upload, up to 50 links per batch. For the spoken script only, use Extract Video Script. For files in bulk, use Download from Links, up to 20 per batch.
3
Open it in the knowledge base and break it down
Click Decompose on a saved video for the topic and structure template, plus a shot script and clips when the video is on disk. Saving does not break it down automatically.

What you get

The video and its source

Saved to the current space's knowledge base; it stays even if the creator deletes it.

The spoken script

Extract Video Script outputs plain text or SRT; a breakdown adds a timestamped transcript.

A ZIP of assets

Download from Links with This computer packs everything into a ZIP in Downloads.

A rewrite as video or article

AI rewrite opens a new chat with the video; say what to keep and what to change.

Compared with other ways

Aspect	Favorite, like, forward	Screen recording	Downloader mini programs	Beav
What you get	A record in WeChat	A recording	A video file	Library entry, script or ZIP
Spoken script	Type it yourself	Type it yourself	Depends on the tool	Batch transcription or a timestamped transcript
If the video is deleted	Gone	Your recording stays	The file stays	Saved content stays
What comes next	Watch again	Sort it yourself	Sort it yourself	Break down and rewrite as video or article

Favorites and forwarding are the easiest inside WeChat and fine for watching again. Screen recording works on anything that plays. Downloader mini programs are handy on the phone. Beav is for when you have a batch of benchmark videos and want their scripts and structure in bulk, to study and rewrite.

FAQ

Can I download WeChat Channels videos to my computer?

Yes. With a Channels post link, click + and Add link in the Beav knowledge base, or use Download from Links with This computer to get a ZIP.

I only have a forwarded card, no link. What now?

All entry points need a Channels post link Beav can recognise. Without one they will not work; screen recording is the fallback.

Can I do it in bulk?

Yes. Extract Video Script queues many links, Download from Links takes up to 20 per batch, and Phone Upload up to 50. Add link saves one at a time.

Is it free?

The Beav desktop app has a free plan. Channels links are read through the capture service, which needs sign-in or a configured capture API and uses quota by its rules. Transcription, breakdown and rewriting use model quota.

Does it remove watermarks or raise the resolution?

No. Beav does not promise higher resolution than the original or watermark removal.

Can I repost a downloaded video?

No. Saved videos are for your own study. Get the creator's permission before using it in your work, reposting or using it commercially.
