Tap the YouTube Studio app to open the YouTube Studio app.\nIf you don't have the YouTube Studio app, you can\ndownload it for free from the Google Play Store\n.\nIt's the second tab at the bottom of the screen.

Tap this icon to display the Share menu.\nIt's the first option in the Share menu below the different app icons.\nAccording to computer expert Yaffet Meshesha, the easiest way to download YouTube videos is to use a YouTube download website.  Open Google in your web browser and\nsearch\n\"YouTube download site.\"  You should see a variety of YouTube download sites.\n[5]\nSince video download sites operate in a legal grey area, they are often targeted by copyright claims.  The sites that are available may change.\nSome current websites you can use include,\nMedia Mister\n,\nPubler.io\n, and\nyt5s.is\nWarning:\nMany free websites contain intrusive ads and downloads to adware and malware.  Some may even try to trick you by disguising themselves as legitimate buttons.  If you accidentally download anything other than the video in the file you selected, do not open it.\nMost download sites have a bar in the middle of the screen.  Tap and hold the bar and then tap\nPaste\nto paste the link to the YouTube video you want to download.\nIt's usually to the right of the bar where paste the link to the video.  The  button may look different depending on the website you use.\nMany YouTube download sites allow you to select the resolution and file format you want to download.  MP4 is the most common video file format.  You may be able to select another file format or an audio-only file format.  You may also be able to select the resolution of the video you want to download.  Higher resolutions (i.e. 1080p) will have better quality, but take up more space on your device.\nOnce you select the file format and resolution, tap the\nDownload\nbutton.  The video should be downloaded to the Videos folder or in your Gallery.  You can open the Videos folder using the Files or My Files app on your Android device.\nAdvertisement\n4K Video Downloader is an app that allows you to download videos from YouTube.  It is available on PC, Mac, and Android.  Since this app violates YouTube's terms of service, it is not available in the Google Play Store.  To\ninstall it\n, you will need to download the APK file from the official website and side-load it on your Android device.  Use the following steps to do so:\nGo to\nhttps:\/\/www.4kdownload.com\/downloads\/30#\nin your device's web browser.\nScroll down and tap\nAndroid app\n.\nTap\nGet 4K Video Downloader\n.\nTap the icon with three dots (\n⋮\n) in the upper-right corner.\nTap\nDownloads\nTap the\n4Kvideodownloader.apk\nfile.\nTap\nInstall\n.\nUse the following steps to do so:\nOpen the YouTube app.\nSearch for the video you want to download.\nTap the video to start playing it.\nTap\nShare\nbelow the video.\nTap\nCopy Link\n.\nYou'll see this button in the bottom left corner of your screen.

[4] Alternatively, you can tap the icon with three dots ( ⋮ ) next to a video in the search results and then tap Download video . To view your downloaded videos, tap your profile image in the lower-right corner. Then tap ' Downloads . Tap any of the videos you have downloaded to view them.
