I think it should be a good measure to enable the downloading video facility since its usefull. for example when you have to show it to your students in a place where the internet signal is low or there is not signal that is what I use it for
best regards

Hello Jorge,
That's a good point. We'd like to make our videos downloadable, but it isn't as easy as you'd think! We have to get legal permission from the people who made our video and there are some technical problems too.
However, it's something we want to do in the future.
Best wishes,

Hello!
I can see that your main website (www.britishcouncil.org) is not filtered now.
Why I cannot see the videos?
Are there any other problems?
Hello Sajjad,
Our video provider is still not accessible to our users in Iran (and also to our users in China.)
We are trying to find a solution, but it is taking some time to find a good one.
Best wishes,
