Here are the steps for it:
Connect your iPhone or Android device to your PC with a USB cable. For Android, when the autoplay notification pops up, click on Transfer files. For iPhone, unlock your device.
Launch File Explorer on your computer and click This computer. Select your phone and open the Internal Storage.
For Android, go to WhatsApp > Media folders and select the WhatsApp Images folder. For iPhone, go to DCIM. Here you'll find all the folders, according to dates, containing your WhatsApp images and videos.
Copy all the videos you want to transfer to your PC and save them to your computer's local storage.
3. Transfer WhatsApp Videos to PC with Email
The 3rd method on our list to transfer WhatsApp videos to PC is to send them to PC via email. The steps are quite simple:
Launch WhatsApp on your iPhone or Android device and select one chat.
Click Export Chat and choose Attach Media. Therefore, your videos are included and you can start to send them via email. Next, just follow the instructions on your phone's screen.
If you have downloaded your WhatsApp videos, then they are saved on your devices. On your Android device, open Gallery > Others > WhatsApp Video, and on your iPhone, go to Photos.
In this way, you can long-press one video till the option to select multiple videos appears. Once you have selected all the videos you wish to save, click on Share > Mail. Enter your email address in the given space, and send the email.
After the above two options to transfer your WhatsApp videos to PC, open your email from your PC, and download the videos you sent from your phone to the desired folder on your PC.
This method is quite simple and straightforward; however, it is not time-efficient as it takes several minutes to attach the videos to the email, depending on the size and number.
4. Transfer WhatsApp Videos to PC with WhatsApp Web
Using WhatsApp Web to download videos is also quite an easy way to transfer WhatsApp videos to PC.
Launch your browser on your PC and go to WhatsApp Web.
A QR code will appear on the screen. Scan it from your phone to start using WhatsApp on your PC.
Now, open the conversation which contains the video you want to transfer.
Click the small arrow on the side of the video and select Download. Alternatively, you can also click on the video and select Download from the options at the top right corner of the screen.
On File Explorer, go to This PC > Downloads to access the downloaded video.
The downside of this method is that you can only download one video at a time. So, if you want to transfer bulk videos, we would not recommend this option.
Pro Tip:
Make sure that your phone and PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network for this method to work. If your phone is offline (not connected to a network) or both devices are connected to different networks, WhatsApp Web won't work, and you can't download WhatsApp videos on PC.5.
