Is there a method for downloading a video file sent via Teams Chat

Using the Teams App (windows) or the Teams App (Android)

I have a student who has sent me video of them completing an assignment via a teams chat. I can see no way to download this file directly or move it to oneDrive so I can document the learning. Most of the help docs on this talk about how to download a meeting recording...to be very clear it isn't that.

With everything else I can either hit the three dots and hit download, or it shows up in the "files" section of the chat. These videos don't have that option and don't register as files in the files section.

How can I get these files out of the Teams ecosystem and keep them?

    This stopped working just today. This "decision" is placing an obstacle in the way of carrying out work using Microsoft tools.

    Just go to Teams web version and you'll be able to see the download button at the video. The desktop app doesn't work like that.
