However, sometimes there are very good reasons why you might want to download videos, like when you don’t have access to Wi-Fi or your mobile data network. So, in this article, we’re going to show you the easiest method to download YouTube videos using your Android device, without installing any third-party application. Scroll down below to find out.
Steps to Download YouTube Videos Using Android
Here’s the easiest method to download YouTube videos without installing any third-party application—using online video downloader sites.
- Open your browser and go to https://youtube.com, and then search the video you want to download.
- Go to the video’s page and long-press on the web address in your browser’s address bar, and then select Copy to copy the video’s URL.
- Once the URL copied, open new browser tab/window and go to the video downloader site. There are several video downloader sites that work well with Android devices such as Safefrom.net, Savido.net, Clipconverter.cc and Savemedia.com.
- All of the sites listed above will have a text field in the center of the page, so paste the YouTube video’s URL you copied and tap on Download or Continue button.
- Choose your desired video format to download. Most of the sites listed above will provide multiple video formats, such as FLV, 3GP MP4, WebM and MOV. In most cases, choose MP4 format for compatibility with most video players. After that, tap on Download or Start button to start the download process.
- Wait a while until the download is finished. You can monitor the progress in the notification panel.
- Go to the video’s page and long-press on the web address in your browser’s address bar, and then select Copy to copy the video’s URL.
