2. Tap on the compass icon to open the web browser and go to www.videosolo.com/online-video-downloader/.

How to download YouTube videos on Mac

There are several tools and programs that allow you to download YouTube videos on a Mac.

One easy way is to use the screen capture tool built into MacOS. It won't be high quality but it's something. Just press Command + Shift + 5 to bring up the screen recording options. You can select a window or record the entire screen, and change the options to include audio from your Mac's microphone.

The best program for downloading YouTube videos on Mac in high quality formats is 4K Video Downloader. It's free for up to 30 downloads a day, or you can upgrade to premium plans. It can download videos in up to 8K quality and in a variety of formats. And 4K Video Downloader can also grab entire YouTube playlists.

Here's how to use it:

1. Download and install 4K Video Downloader and open the program.

2. Find a YouTube video and copy the link. 

4. Click Paste Link in the menu.

1. Download TubeMate and install on your Android phone. You may need to change your security settings.

2. Open TubeMate and search for a YouTube video.

3. Tap the green Download button.

How to download YouTube videos on a PC

The best way to download YouTube videos to a Windows PC is also 4K Video Downloader. Follow the same steps that we outlined for downloading YouTube videos on Mac.

According to Google's terms of service for YouTube, the answer is no: "You may access Content for your information and personal use solely as intended through the provided functionality of the Service and as permitted under these Terms of Service. You shall not download any Content unless you see a 'download' or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content.""

"You may access Content for your information and personal use solely as intended through the provided functionality of the Service and as permitted under these Terms of Service. You shall not download any Content unless you see a 'download' or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content."

If you want to download YouTube videos, the only way to do so responsibly is by paying the $11.99 for YouTube Premium.

If you violate the YouTube TOS, the company may terminate your account, as noted here: "YouTube will terminate a user's access to the Service if, under appropriate circumstances, the user is determined to be a repeat infringer."

However, the issue isn't totally black and white. Recently, GitHub reinstated the open-source tool YouTube-dl after taking the software down after the Recording Industry Association of America complained that it violated Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. But GitHub found that YouTube-dl was used in non-copyright infringing ways by journalists and educators.
