What is the best way to download YouTube videos for free?

Downloading YouTube videos for free is more of an ethical question than a technological one, but here are some resources to start with.

Pros: Users will not have to deal with ads on their phone while watching the video, you can play videos in any desired format, custom screen size, etc.
Cons: slow download times unless the video is compressed or watched on WiFi; large files sizes can make it difficult to store or manage many videos within personal accounts.
Challenges: Videos cannot be saved to the "Photos" folder under iOS because there's no option in the Share menu in Safari that appears after pressing and holding a video in Safari whereas with email there is an option called "Add File Attachment".

There are a few ways to do this, but the most popular option is going to be by using an extension for your browser. I would recommend a program called Free YouTube Downloader. It will automatically download videos from YouTube and save them as MP4 files on your computer.

If you want more information about how it works or have some other questions, check out the FAQs page on their website. They have some great guides that go over things in more detail.

The best way to download youtube videos is to use YouTube-DL .
This program allows you to download any video and audio off of YouTube with just a few mouse clicks. You can import any playlist or channel into it and ctrl+click the links on the page, and all of the clips will queue up for downloading. Once imported, just press whatever key you assigned for "play" (default F) and they'll load in your default video player one by one automatically! Supports Youtube Red completely free!

Another option is DownThemAll , which grabs whole playlists from youtube no problem. However it requires downloading each individual file manually- this can be time consuming if there are lots of them so use accordingly.

Easiest way is to go to the Chrome Extension store and download one of the many free youtube downloader extensions.

The extensions will usually just ask you to copy paste the Youtube video URL of the video you want to download. then it will redirect you to a page where you can download the video to your phone or desktop computer.
