Vine was a short-form video-sharing platform. Before its shutdown in 2017, Vine was hosting millions of videos, each only lasted 6 seconds and then repeated in a continuous loop. This time limitation pushed creators to be extra-creative and resulted in numerous video memes beloved by viewers around the world. If you feel nostalgic for Vine videos, follow the instructions below to watch and download them to your computer.
How to Find and Watch Old Vines
When you visit the main page of Vine now, all you see is a goodbye message without any possibility of searching for accounts or videos.
The pages of Vine accounts actually still exist, and their videos can still be viewed. But to find those pages, you'll need to know the account names of the Vine creators you're interested in.
For example, you can view the Vine videos of Sarah Schauer, one of the most popular bloggers on the platform, by following this link: https://vine.co/sarahschauer
Unfortunately, if you don't know the usernames of specific Viners, you won't be able to find their videos on Vine or any other platform except YouTube.
