Step 1: Install The Right KeepStreams

If you want to use KeepStreams to download videos from a certain streaming service, the first step is to install the program on your laptop.

It's highly recommended to get the installation package of KeepStreams from its official site. Before that, please ensure your device meets the following system requirements:

• Operating System: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 or later │ macOS 10.10 or later
• Processor: Intel Core i3 or higher │ Core 2 Quad or higher
• Memory (RAM): 4GB or more
• Storage: At least 40GB of available hard disk space
   

After checking the system requirements, you can follow these steps to install KeepStreams on your laptop:

The guide page to install KeepStreams will pop up when you click the "Free Trial" button. You can also find a simple 3-step tutorial via this page. Learn more about KeepStreams free trial by reading this article.

You can also quickly download KeepStreams by clicking the following download button.

Click the file icon, which will bring you to the local folder where the installation package is downloaded.

Click the grey "Custom" part. In the list, choose your preferred installation options. It's highly recommended to change the location to another folder than the default C: drive.

That's it! Now you have successfully installed KeepStreams on your PC.

Step 2: Set KeepStreams Before Using

You can quickly run KeepStreams by clicking the KeepStreams icon on your desktop. Before using it to download videos, you can navigate to the Settings section to customize your own KeepStreams! Here is how you can do that:

General: Here you can set your preferred language of KeepStreams UI, the output directory, and choose if you want the notification sound after the download is complete.

Preferences: Here you can set the video & audio output options and customize the subtitle language for different VIP Services. Choose your preferred format, video resolution, audio quality, subtitle language, and frequency of automatic downloads for certain VIP Services.

Proxy: Here you can set the proxy protocol, host, and port. As a rule, these settings typically stay the same.

When you set these options, click OK to apply them all and shut down the window.

Step 3: Download Videos with KeepStreams

It's time to use KeepStreams to download your favorite shows! Although KeepStreams offers a 30-day free trial, it's basically a subscription-based program if you want to unlock more downloads and more services.

Before activating KeepStreams, you can only download 3 free full-length videos from each VIP Services (about 150 downloads in total). Activating the full service requires a KeepStreams account, which can be created via the official site of KeepStreams.

Click the ☴ icon and find "Settings" just as you did in the "Set KeepStreams Before Using" section, and find "Authorize" below "Settings". Do as the following image shows.

Congratulations! You've successfully activated KeepStreams on your laptop. Now you can actually download videos with KeepStreams, which can be done through 2 different methods: URL or the built-in browser.

URL Option

The first method is to directly paste the URL to KeepStreams and download the video without opening a webpage, which is similar to online video downloaders.

It's very convenient when you already have the exact URL of the video, or when you try to download videos from a platform that is not listed in the VIP Services. Here is how you can do:

Paste the URL you just copied here, and select your preferred format, quality, and subtitle. Click on "Download" to save the video.

Now you can go to the "Downloading" section to check the videos you just added. When the download is done, the video will be saved in the local folder on your PC.

Browser Option

Don't want to make this so "online-video-downloader-like"? Prefer to customize more output options? Try the built-in browser of KeepStreams. You can just enter the URL of the site you want to download video from (it doesn't matter if it's a VIP Service or not), play the show as usual, and it can be downloaded smoothly.

For example, you can enter netflix.com or directly click the Netflix icon in the VIP Services section.

Since KeepStreams is able to download any video that you can successfully play, you don't need to log in to your account for a streaming service sometimes, as long as you can play the video you want to download.

When you play the show, KeepStreams will automatically analyze it, and a download setting window will pop up. Set the video resolution, language, subtitle, and automatic download options. Click "Download Now".

As mentioned above, you can check the download progress in the "Downloading" section. To download a film for 2 hours, it may take about 10 minutes to finish.

To find the downloaded shows, it's recommended to head to the "Downloaded" section and click the little folder icon beside each title, which will lead you to the local folder.

To help you better understand, here is a tutorial video (for Hulu).

That's it! Now you can play the shows anytime or move them to any device you like. The downloaded videos will never expire.
