Google won’t let you download videos from YouTube unless you subscribe to YouTube Premium, which is perhaps not surprising when you consider how much money the site makes from ads. Its terms of service forbid you to download content without permission from YouTube or the respective rights holder, and Google hasbanned YouTube-downloading extensions from the Chrome Web Store (though there are plenty of tools for grabbing videos from other sites).
However, there’s lots of content on YouTube that you are permitted to download, such as public domain videos that aren’t copyrighted, clips covered by a
Creative Commons licence (https://bit.ly/3zgreKw) and homemade videos that friends have shared with you. You can download such videos in Chrome using an extension called Tampermonkey and a script called Local YouTube Downloader. Install Tampermonkey from the Chrome Web Store (https://bit.ly/3v0PTAh) then head to the Local Video Downloader page on the user-script site Greasy Fork: (https://bit.ly/3Pi4G1R). Click the Install this script’ button, select ‘I already have a user script manager, let me installit!’ and click Install.
Now when you open a YouTube video page, you should see a ‘Download high-resolution mp4 in one click’ link below the player ignore the official Download button, which prompts you to subscribe to YouTube Premium. Click this link and, after a short delay, Local Video Downloader will merge the video and audio, and download the result as an MP4 file. If that sounds like too much hassle, you may prefer to use a browser that supports YouTube downloading extensions, such as Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express for Edge (https://bit.ly/3zjiqDX) and Firefox (https://mzl.la/3yR5R15).
This places a Download As button below YouTube videos that lets you grab videos in MP4 format (though to download in Full HD 1080p you must upgrade to the Pro version). You can also save just the audio as an MP3. An alternative is to download YouTube videos using a third-party program such as 4K Video Downloader (https://bit.ly/3ofbvVW). This lets you copy and paste the URLs of YouTube videos, then download them in a choice of resolutions and formats.
