How to Download YouTube Videos in 2024

Downloading YouTube videos can be useful for offline viewing, content creation, or archiving. However, it's essential to approach this task with caution, respecting YouTube's terms of service and copyright laws. As of 2024, there are several methods to download YouTube videos, each with its advantages and limitations. Here's a guide on the current ways to download YouTube videos while ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards.

1. Using YouTube Premium

YouTube Premium is a subscription service offered by YouTube that provides several benefits, including offline video downloads.

  1. Subscribe to YouTube Premium: Sign up through the YouTube website or app. This service requires a monthly subscription fee.
  2. Open the YouTube App: Download and install the YouTube app on your mobile device.
  3. Find the Video: Search for the video you want to download.
  4. Download the Video: Tap the download button below the video player, choose the video quality, and the video will be saved to your device for offline viewing.

Note: Videos downloaded through YouTube Premium are available only within the YouTube app and are not accessible through other media players or file systems.

2. Using Third-Party Applications

Several third-party applications and software programs can download YouTube videos. However, using these tools often comes with risks, such as malware or violating YouTube’s terms of service.

Popular Applications:

  • 4K Video Downloader: A desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that allows downloading videos, playlists, channels, and subtitles from YouTube.
  • YTD Video Downloader: Another desktop application that supports various formats and resolutions.
  • JDownloader: A popular open-source tool that supports downloading videos from various websites, including YouTube.

Steps:

  1. Download and Install the Software: Visit the official website of the application and download the installer.
  2. Copy the Video URL: Go to YouTube, and copy the URL of the video you want to download.
  3. Paste the URL into the Application: Open the application and paste the copied URL into the appropriate field.
  4. Choose Download Options: Select the format and quality for the video download.
  5. Download the Video: Click the download button and wait for the process to complete.

Note: Ensure you download these applications from their official websites to avoid security risks.

3. Using Online Download Services

Online video download services allow you to download YouTube videos directly through your web browser. These services are convenient but may have limitations regarding video quality and format.

Popular Online Services:

  • Y2Mate: An online tool that supports downloading videos and audio from YouTube.
  • SaveFrom.net: A website that allows you to download YouTube videos by pasting the video URL.

Steps:

  1. Visit the Website: Go to the online download service's website.
  2. Paste the Video URL: Copy the YouTube video URL and paste it into the provided field on the website.
  3. Select Download Options: Choose the format and quality for your download.
  4. Download the Video: Click the download button, and the service will provide a link to download the video file.

Note: Be cautious with online services as they can sometimes be unreliable or expose you to ads and potential malware.

4. Browser Extensions

Some browser extensions can facilitate downloading YouTube videos directly from your web browser. These extensions are generally easy to use but might be limited by browser policies and YouTube's restrictions.

Popular Extensions:

  • Video DownloadHelper: An extension for Firefox and Chrome that allows downloading videos from various websites, including YouTube.
  • SaveFrom.net Helper: A browser extension that integrates with SaveFrom.net to simplify the download process.

Steps:

  1. Install the Extension: Go to your browser's extension store and install the desired extension.
  2. Find the Video: Navigate to YouTube and play the video you want to download.
  3. Use the Extension: Click on the extension icon in your browser’s toolbar and select the download option. Follow the prompts to choose the format and quality.

Note: Some browser extensions may become non-functional due to changes in YouTube’s policies or browser updates.

5. Using Command-Line Tools

For tech-savvy users, command-line tools like youtube-dl provide a powerful way to download YouTube videos with a variety of options.

Steps:

  1. Install youtube-dl: Follow the installation instructions on the official website or GitHub repository for your operating system.
  2. Open Command-Line Interface: Access your command-line interface (e.g., Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on macOS or Linux).
  3. Download the Video: Use the command youtube-dl [video URL] to download the video. You can specify additional options for format and quality.

Note: Ensure that you’re using the latest version of youtube-dl and that it’s compliant with YouTube’s policies.

6. Legal and Ethical Considerations

While downloading YouTube videos can be convenient, it’s important to respect copyright laws and YouTube’s terms of service:

  • Copyright Laws: Downloading and distributing copyrighted content without permission may violate copyright laws. Ensure you have the right to download and use the content.
  • YouTube’s Terms of Service: YouTube’s terms prohibit unauthorized downloading of videos. Using official methods like YouTube Premium helps you stay compliant with their policies.

Conclusion

Downloading YouTube videos in 2024 can be achieved through various methods, including YouTube Premium, third-party applications, online services, browser extensions, and command-line tools. Each method has its pros and cons, so choose the one that best fits your needs while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. Always prioritize respecting copyright laws and YouTube’s terms of service to avoid potential issues.

ID270 and 881 always best choice for Youtube watch time

If service opening in the coming days, mean it passed beta mode
Better IDs is still 881 and 270 for Youtube watch time

2. As of high load and blockings so opening facebook post likes sometimes be cancelled, that is to prevent further problem like holding orders or complete by mistake. Otherwise IDs run OK


02/11

About Facebook post like, we noticed the issue of blocking like, may cause many order delivered without likes added in recent 3 days so we disabled temporarily server 457,886,388 and increase price of opening servers which running properly, for old issued IDs you can request refunds

22/10

Facebook post like speed is being increased


21/10

Q: Need YouTube view stable for API (After the recent update, almost gone by), and the situation, also with watch time (21/10/2024)

A:

VIEWS:

We recommend these IDs which have a very rare case drop (under 5%): 1155, 1046, 1066, 1319, 111 (Speed as described)

ID376 works but may have some videos that cannot be suggested or views not counted.

ID525 works well but speed is slow, may take around 1-5 days for 1K.

ID130, 1104 work good, drop often only for some videos, around 5% of all orders.

All Native Ads views, ID1094, 1050, 999, 1055, 994, 1376, 1375, 1374, 951, 513, 850, 411, 524, 920, ... are not affected by updates but some video content cannot add views

WATCH TIME:

ID881 works good, under 5% drop cases, speed may not be as expected since we have more old views orders to solve on the same server

ID270 has around 10-15% drop cases at the moment and is being fixed day by day to lessen.

ID1435 may work well now, give it a try


20/10

Facebook post likes may have slower orders due to blocking and high order load on our side, often taking 2-4 days to run 500-1000 likes
