hey guys today i want to show you how to download youtube videos 100% legally
we've all been there we've found this awesome video that we really like and we
want to download it so that we can watch it in our own time when we're offline
before you go ahead and download this video though let's look into the
legalities of downloading videos from youtube when you first opened your
youtube account you agreed to terms and conditions they're slightly different
for all of the countries but i'm pretty sure that all of them have got the
standard clause which reads here it's very black and white and it says you are
not allowed to access reproduce and download any part of the service or any
content except as expressly authorized by the service or be with prior written
permission from youtube or from their respective rights holders in other words
what this is saying to you is that you can only download youtube videos when
you are using the methods that are provided to you by youtube themselves so
what are the methods that youtube allows us to use to download youtube videos so
the first method is going to be applicable to you if you already have a
youtube account and if you want to download any of your own videos that you
have published in the past to use this method you need to navigate to your
youtube studio dashboard so just studio.youtube.com
and then click on the content tab on the left hand side and you can browse all of
the videos that you have ever uploaded so if for whatever reason you have lost
the original file of any of the videos that you have ever posted on youtube you
can easily download those videos and to do that just mouse over any of the
videos that you want to download and then click these three dots to bring up
the options and you will see an option to download so here i can actually click
download and this will download the local mp4 file of the video for me so
that i can do whatever i want with this video the second way to download youtube
videos is to use this download button now not
everyone will have it i'm going to explain it in just a second but you may
have seen that some people when you see their screen shares they actually have
this download button i can click this download button and this video you can
see is now downloading once this video has downloaded i can actually watch it
from my saved videos on youtube all of these videos that i have downloaded i
can then go back and watch them just by clicking into the top left and looking
at downloads so i've got this special area where i can see all of the videos
that i have downloaded and i can just come back and watch them at any time in
the future even if i'm not connected to the internet so why do i have this well
this is because i've got access to youtube premium youtube premium is an
official youtube service and it's a premium service which costs some money
so i'm in australia that's why i'm seeing the prices in australian dollars
it's 14.99 australian dollars and cents for
me per month and you also get a one month free trial so
for argument's sake if you wanted to just download some youtube videos today
and you need to watch them over the next i don't know week or something while
you're flying on an airplane in theory you could just take out a free one month
trial and then cancel this free trial at the end of the 30 days period so this
one month free trial could be a way for you to enjoy the benefits and to
download videos on youtube without actually paying any money as you can see
you can cancel it at any time there are other plans there of course if you are
currently a student then you can get it for a discounted price for me in
australia it's 8.99 per month u.s prices i believe are slightly cheaper than that
and what do you get for your money well you get ad-free and background play so i
use this quite a lot i don't like wasting time on you know watching being
forced to watch ads on youtube because i do a lot of stuff on youtube so for me
this saves a lot of time and also you also get this background
play which basically means that i can play music on my phone from youtube i
can just listen to it and i can shut it down and i can have black screen and the
music will continue playing it doesn't actually stop like it does without
youtube premium and of course it's got this downloads functionality which
basically means that you can save videos for when you need them so for example if
i'm going on an airplane and i'm not going to have a reception wi-fi
reception i can save all of these videos and i can i can watch them while i don't
have access to the internet and like i said guys if you're
watching this video because you've just googled it because you know you over the
next week or two you need to be offline and you want to
watch some of the videos from youtube when you're offline then this is
potentially something that you could consider you could sign up for youtube
premium and if you like it great you can keep it but if not then you can see that
you can cancel it at any time but during this one month free trial you can
download youtube videos and just watch them offline anytime you need to with
youtube premium you can also download videos onto your mobile phone so you'll
just get an extra button that'll say download next to each of the videos and
