How to download a video from Youtube

But above all, we have to make this warning: While it is legal to share and integrate YouTube videos into the web, it is not always permitted to download them offline. Downloading content is deemed a breach of the YouTube Terms of Service until approval to download that video is directly given by the Video Hosting site.

That being said, let us just look at the way YouTube videos can be downloaded. This tutorial includes an easy-to-use 4K Video Downloader desktop app.

Phase 1: Download the 4K Video Downloader app


Go to the 4K Video Video Downloader website and click the blue Download button that suits your computer’s operating system under the heading 4K Video Downloader. You can use it on Windows, macOS (10.13 or later), and Ubuntu. After you have downloaded the installer, execute it to install the software on your device.

Don’t be scared off by the name if you don’t have a 4K monitor. This is one of the most flexible and easy-to-use download resources available, and it works on all your files irrespective of the display resolution of your computer. The free version of this app will import individual videos of adjustable quality down to 4K, 3D and 360-degree camera support and subtitles can be downloaded.

There is a premium option starting at $15, but the free version is adequate to download a basic YouTube file.

Phase 2: Copy URL of the YouTube video


The fastest move is to go to the YouTube video you would like to import and copy its URL from the address bar at the top of your web browser. You can close the window or the video tab after locking and loading the URL in your clipboard.
