Sometimes, you may want to save your favourite Youtube videos, so that you can watch them whenever you want even without internet connection. But Google does not allow downloading the Youtube videos directly. In this case, how can you to download Youtube videos to your computer easily? Read on to find out the solutions.
You can search a third-party Youtube downloader online to download the videos. Below I’ll introduce several software that I’ve used, which are safe and reliable. If you’re not sure whether the software you find is good or not, or if you want to save more time on it, it’s recommended you try these apps.
Note: Youtube download extensions were available to download from Google Web Store before. But they are shutdown now. I advise you not spend time in looking for extensions.
There are free downloaders and paid downloaders you can choose from. It’s recommended to use the paid software as they provide better customer service and more professional support guarantee. Youtube frequently improves the video coding, the site design and the layout. When Youtube updates, it’s possible that the Youtube downloader will stop working and get errors. The paid Youtube downloader will update their software instantly. More importantly, you can contact their customer service for further assistance regarding any issues.
