Download YouTube Videos
Instructions
Copy and paste your YouTube URL into the box above. (To get the URL on the mobile
YouTube app, click on Share -> Copy Link and return to this website)
Choose whether you want video or audio-only by using the dropdown next to the URL box.
Choose other download options such as quality and encoding. Note: this is currently not implemented. Options for
video/audio and quality will be added later.
Press the "Download" button to start the download process. This will start a
download request in the server processing chain and as soon as resources are
available, your YouTube video will be downloaded, processed, and then sent to this
client. Please note that depending on the server load, you may have to wait for some
time. A status window will appear below the form so that you can check your
progress.
Note: The download percentage may loop around after reaching 100% if you choose the "Audio + Video" option
