Convert Anydesk Video To Mp4 -upd- -

If your version of AnyDesk does not have an export button, or if you need to convert the file on a computer that does not have AnyDesk installed, you have to use a workaround.

The "Play and Record" Method: Since older AnyDesk clients act as a decoder, you can use a screen recorder to capture the playback.

The FFmpeg Solution (Advanced): AnyDesk recordings can often be converted via command line using FFmpeg, as the newer codecs are based on standard VP8/VP9 or H.264 streams, simply contained in a proprietary wrapper.
