If you encounter an error, check the following:
- Ensure the post is public and has not been deleted by the author.
- Check that you copied the complete URL without missing characters.

Make sure your phone's physical silent switch or volume mute is turned off. Some mobile gallery players mute downloaded videos by default until you tap the on-screen speaker icon to unmute.
