Downloading YouTube videos can be extremely useful for folks who dislike waiting for videos to lag or who live in a region with poor internet. Re-watching a YouTube video also uses up valuable data on your plan. 

To address this, YouTube released YouTube download for offline viewing in 2014, allowing users to download/ store videos to the YouTube app for later viewing. However, the feature is limited to smartphones and does not apply to all videos on the platform. 

Furthermore, the saved YouTube videos are only accessible through the app and expire after 30 days. Because YouTube's offline feature does not cover desktop users, many individuals seek out YouTube video downloading software.

Don't worry if you haven't found a solid YouTube video download tool or software yet; we've got you covered. The following is a list of the best apps and websites for downloading YouTube videos online for free on your Android phone, iPhone, Windows laptop, or Mac.

How To Download Video From Youtube (Official)

Let's have a look at how to download videos from the YouTube app itself before moving on to third-party apps/websites to download YouTube videos online. This is the accepted method. 

Users can save and download YouTube videos to their mobile phones through YouTube. 'Offline view' is a built-in function in the video streaming platform's app. Here's what you need to know if you're not familiar with it.

The offline watch function, as the name implies, allows Android and iOS users to download YouTube videos directly to their phones for later viewing. YouTube videos can be downloaded in a variety of resolutions, up to full HD. 

These videos can be downloaded via a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. Follow the steps below if you're asking "how?"

  • To use the offline view function to download YouTube videos online, launch the YouTube app and search for the video you want to download. 

  • You can select the 'Download' option by tapping the three-dot sign next to the video search results. If you're watching the video, you can also hit the 'Download' button (down arrow) underneath the title to download it. 

  • You'll be asked to choose the video quality before the YouTube video is downloaded to your phone. The video will be available in resolutions ranging from 144p to 1080p, or whatever the highest resolution is. 

  • You'll see a "View" button at the bottom of the YouTube video once it's finished downloading.

Both Android and iOS users can follow the same methods. Videos downloaded from YouTube can be erased by tapping on the three-dot icon next to the video and selecting 'Delete from the downloads' from the pop-up box. 

However, as previously indicated, YouTube's offline viewing feature has some limits. The functionality isn't available for all videos, and it doesn't work with third-party apps, so you'll have to use the YouTube app to watch the videos you've downloaded.
