When Telegram says download is disabled, open the message in Telegram Web and use TG Downloader instead of the native button. The extension is designed for download-disabled and restricted-post scenarios where the lightweight web path is not enough.

Yes, as long as you can already access the channel in Telegram Web. Open the private channel, load the target message, then use TG Downloader to save the available videos, files, or other media locally.

It does not bypass membership or channel access. Instead, it gives you a stronger save path for Telegram media that is already visible in your Telegram Web session, even when the normal Telegram download UI is disabled or limited.
