You don’t have to pay a single penny (money) for that. You just need an active internet connection and a device like a mobile or laptop to download that video. I will also explain how to download youtube videos; but for that, you have to be patient. Now the question which I will answer is why we need websites to download YouTube videos if we can download YouTube video on Youtube? So this is an interesting question, I am excited to answer this.😄

How to download youtube videos in PC?

I know guys that YouTube gives us an awesome feature known as “download offline”, but the problem is that this awesome only works in mobile phones  (Android and iOS) i.e. you can’t use this feature in PC or Laptop. “Download Offline” option in YouTube means after taking any YouTube video in offline you can watch it without an Internet connection up to 48 hours, so you can enjoy YouTube video without worrying about the slow internet connection. So the permanent solution of this problem is that download the video for permanently i.e. download the video directly into your phone gallery or PC/Laptop.

Why we download Youtube Videos?

Many times what happens, we want to watch the same video several times on YouTube but the problem is that it will use your mobile data for per play. So, to avoid this problem or in simple language to save you and the mobile data we download youtube video directly into our phone (gallery) or Laptop/PC. After downloading video, we can watch those video anytime and anywhere without the availability of the internet. 

Now another question arises is that is downloading YouTube Video is legal or not? You can also say that this is a HOT question as this question is mainly about copyright. So let me answer this question.

Is downloading YouTube video is legal or not?

So, as we all know that YouTube is owned by Google and it is very strict on copyright or piracy. When a YouTube creator upload a video on YouTube and that video use a soundtrack or other element owned by that creator (person or company) so Google marks that creator as an original content creator. If someone publishes a video which is not original or whose copyright belongs to others, then Google takes that video down. You have no rights to access other content for any reason other than your individual or personal use, non-commercial use solely as intended through and permitted by the normal functionality of the Service, and solely for Streaming.

In short, if you are downloading a YouTube video just for personal use then it is legal, but if you are copying, reproduce, transmit, distribute, broadcast, display, sell, or license then it is illegal.

Ok! So now the times come to answer the question which is how to download YouTube Video. We can download YouTube video in 2 different ways: first is through the website, and the second one is through the (mobile) apps.

Note: In this article, I will only tell you about the first method of downloading i.e. downloading youtube video by the website. Don’t worry my lovely readers I will make another article which is on how we can download YouTube video through (mobile) apps.
