On Flickr, users can set their public videos to private or friends/family-only access. Private content is accessible only to the account owner or approved contacts and stays hidden from search results, while friends/family settings require viewers to have a Flickr account added to those lists for playback or viewing. If you have access to private Flickr videos and want to download them for offline access, you can easily do so with 4K Video Downloader Plus. Follow the steps below to start downloading.

1. Install the app. Download 4K Video Downloader Plus and install it on your computer. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
