Which quality to choose
720p is plenty for most talking-head lessons; choose 1080p when the clip shows code, slides or small text.
The Steam Deck’s 800p screen is matched perfectly by the 720p version, which saves space on the SSD.
Where the files go on Steam Deck
In Desktop Mode, downloads go to /home/deck/Downloads, reachable from the Dolphin file manager.
A downloaded clip can become a custom startup movie once converted to WebM and copied to ~/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/movies.
Science audio as MP3
Turn science videos into MP3 and listen like a podcast while commuting or exercising.
Audio files play in Desktop Mode with any installed player, such as Elisa or VLC from the Discover store.
Download responsibly
Educators share for free, but their work is still theirs. Credit them when you share their lessons with others.
