EASILY How to Save Videos From YouTube.com
YouTube does HTML5 by default to stream video. Unhappily, that makes it not-so-easy to download videos. What's more is that YouTube doesn't even provide a button or menu to download videos from their website.
In order to save a YouTube movie, you need to use a separate specialized device or service, most of which are 100% free and don't require a membership or fee of any kind.
Important: Downloading copyrighted videos might be illegal in your country.
Use these YouTube video downloaders only with your own content or for videos that are in the common area.
How to Save YouTube Movies
There are a few different options for downloading YouTube movies and videos. You can use a free or paid online service to get the job done or install a program on your computer that can save the video and/or convert it to a usable format.
The type of video downloader you choose doesn't really matter all that much; it can be based solely on personal preference since any will suffice.
Subscribe to YouTube Red
YouTube Red is not free but it does let you download YouTube videos to your iOS or Android mobile device. It's important to note that this method does not let you save the video to your computer.
This works through the YouTube (iOS or Android) or YouTube Music (iOS or Android) app. You can read more about it through the YouTube Red link above.

How to Use These YouTube Downloaders
For every website or program listed above, you have to know the URL of the YouTube video. While on the YouTube page of the video you want, just right-click the URL in the navigation bar of your web browser, and choose to copy the text or link.
Then, open one of the websites or programs from above, and paste the URL into the text field. You'll find that some of these methods for downloading YouTube movies let you pick the video format or quality before you download them, such as MP4 or AVI.
Some of these YouTube downloaders also let you extract the audio from the video, which is useful if you'd rather have just the sound. On the other hand, others won't even let you download the video unless it's free from any music.
How to Convert YouTube Videos
If you'd rather have the video in some other format, like one that your phone or tablet helps, you can always just load it into a free video converter program and save it to a different file format.
On the other hand, if all you're after is the audio from a YouTube video in a format like MP3, check out our How to Convert YouTube Videos to MP3 for several ways of doing this.
