How to download YouTube videos on a laptop?

Whether you are a creator, student, or working professional, YouTube is a staple for everyone. It is the most popular site for long-form audio-video content generated by literally millions of creators. YouTube is not just limited to entertainment. In this digital age, it has become a source of genuine information and learning as well. With so much relevance and popularity, there are many occasions that you may want to download a particular video to view offline on a laptop or other device. But is it really possible?

How to download YouTube videos on a laptop?

There are a lot of misconceptions and myths surrounding this topic. There is a lot of technical jargon as well! So the question is: can you legally download videos? Well, it is not that straightforward. In short, yes, you can absolutely download videos. But there is a catch. There are plenty of apps and services that allow you to download YouTube videos. However, there are copyright issues that make it illegal. For personal use, it is considered fine — but it could still be unlawful. On top of security issues, many of these service providers who let you download will charge you money as well.

A way that is legal and doesn’t involve any fuss is getting a YouTube premium. You will be able to download videos, stream music in the background, and much more. You won’t have to worry about copyright issues. And since it is a service provided by YouTube itself, there are no extra steps or complexity like in the case of other apps/services that lets you download videos.
