Greetings, dear readers! ????????

In this article you will find the answer to a frequently asked question: how to download a video on Youtube or, as I will call it in Russian, YouTube. You will learn, how to download videos in three ways and on different devices (computer, Android phones or iPhone).

For your convenience, below you will find the content of this post, so go directly to the section you need, so as not to waste time.

Method number 1: How to download a video to a computer through a browser (free and without registration)

This is the easiest and fastest way to download YouTube videos. In this case, you do not need to install anything and there is no need to register anywhere. Moreover, this method works for downloading videos from almost any open source, including sites such as Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki and Facebook.

I want to offer you two, in my opinion, the best services for downloading videos from sites, YouTube and social. networks:

1. Savefrom.net
2. Video-from.com

Below I will tell you more about each of them.

VideoFrom is new enough service / program for downloading videos from YouTube and VKontakte... On this site, you can save videos, as well as music from VK, directly online or by installing the program on your computer (so far only on Windows computers). It is very convenient that VideoFrom also makes it easy to download videos to mobile devices via a QR code instead of a link!

To download a video, just paste the link to the video in the search box. You will see links to the formats available for download. Select the required format by clicking on "Download". This will open the playing video in a new window. After that, it remains only to click on the right mouse button and select the option "Download" or "Download as". Ready! ????

Method number 2: How to download a video from YouTube via a link

Step 1. Open the video you want to download to YouTube in any browser.

Here's a good example of what needs to be done:

• Original video link: https: // www. youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk
• Modified download link: https: // ss youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk

Note that there is no dot after the letters "ss".

Step 3. You should open an additional window where you can download video in one of the proposed formats, for example, MP4 720p or 1080p, whenever possible.

Method number 3: How to download a video from YouTube through a browser extension

There are many extensions for downloading videos from YouTube and other sites, but I would like to recommend two of the best(in my opinion):

1. Savefrom.net is a very convenient browser extension for downloading videos from the Internet, which is used by tens of thousands of people. With this extension, you can download videos to your computer not only from YouTube, but also from almost any website. Moreover, after installing the extension, you can download videos and music from Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki in one click, as well as download videos from Facebook.

After installing the extension, a green "Download" button will appear in the YouTube interface and the ability to select the video resolution you need to save. Very comfortably!

an icon in the form of a green arrow, by clicking on which, you can download the video that is currently being played. A very simple method that works in all popular browsers.

2 . Ummy Video Downloader is another very popular browser extension. In addition to the fact that this extension allows you to save videos from almost any open websites, with its help you can download just an audio file without a video series in mp3 format, which, you see, is very cool if you only need music, and not the entire clip.

Method number 4: Special programs for downloading videos from YouTube to your computer

There is also a third option, with which you can download videos from YouTube, for example, a program Video From .

VideoFrom is new enough program for downloading videos and music from YouTube and VKontakte.

I am very glad that the VideoFrom program was created by domestic developers and is distributed absolutely free of charge. Its computer version is compatible with all current versions of Windows: 7, 8 and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit). The interface is completely in Russian, very simple and understandable even for an inexperienced user.

The principle of working with VideoFrom is quite simple! You need to download the program from the official website of the developers and install it on your computer. Then just copy the link to the desired video in VK or YouTube and paste it into the program. Next, you will be offered several options for downloading videos, where you need to select the quality and format you need.

The VideoFrom program works conveniently in the tray. When the utility is enabled and the link to the video is copied, a window will appear in the lower right corner for quick video download.

How to download YouTube videos to your phone

Below I will tell you about proven methods by which you can save YouTube videos to your phone.

Please note that there are a lot of infected applications on the Internet, so be careful and install programs only from trusted sites and only from reliable developers.

How to save YouTube videos to your Android phone or tablet

Due to the fact that downloading videos from YouTube is not allowed by Google, applications of this kind are very quickly removed from Google Play.

TubeMate is probably one of the most popular apps for downloading YouTube videos to Android phones. The application, as I explained above, does not exist on Google Play, but it is possible.

In order to download the application, you need to give permission in the phone settings to install and run applications from third-party websites (not just from Google Play). After installing the application, it is better to turn off this option again so as not to accidentally download a virus to your phone.

How do I use TubeMate?

The TubeMate app is very similar to the native YouTube app. Here you can watch videos, search for videos through search, and, of course, download videos in the format you need.

Step 1. To download the video, open it in TubeMate. You can use the search or paste the link to the video copied to YouTube on the main page of the application.

Videos are downloaded in the background, so you can save multiple videos at the same time.

How to download YouTube videos to iPhone or iPad

In order to save the video to any phone, I suggest you use the same service Savefrom.net. The only thing is that you will have to additionally install an additional free application on your phone, since you will not be able to download the video directly from Savefrom on your mobile device.

There are tons of applications for all mobile platforms, but they are disappearing very quickly, and the method that I will discuss below has been around for many years and continues to work. That is why I think it is the best.

Step 1. Install Documents6 application on your phone. This is a very simple file management app on your phone that will also help you download YouTube videos. Click to enlarge

Step 4. Return to the Documents app 6. In the previously opened site savefrom.net, paste the link to the video from YouTube. Select the desired video format and quality and click "Download".

When the file is downloaded, it will appear in the Downloads section of the Documents6 application. From here, you can drag it to your camera roll to watch videos directly from your gallery.
