The YouTube creators have disabled downloading for some content, but you can still download videos using a third-party service. Other methods include using a virtual desktop or YT Scribe to automatically transcribe a YouTube video. In this article, we will go over the methods that are most efficient. We&#8217;ll also talk about some ways to download YouTube videos, including using a virtual desktop.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_creators_have_disabled_downloading_for_some_content\"><\/span>YouTube creators have disabled downloading for some content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you watch a video on YouTube, you may be wondering whether you can download it. While you may be tempted to download a video and then use it elsewhere, this is not allowed and may result in account termination. Downloading other content from YouTube violates copyright and is illegal. Content creators own the rights to their work, and YouTube has a license to host and distribute it. If you do download other content from YouTube, you must always credit the creator.<\/p>\n<p>Some content may not be legal to download from YouTube, but it is generally okay to watch it. To access restricted content, the content must first meet the site&#8217;s community guidelines. These guidelines apply to both videos and users, and may result in demonetization, blocking, or deletion. These actions are based on manual review and account-wide AI screening. If you&#8217;re unsure whether you&#8217;re breaking the terms, try viewing the content in a different browser or disable the latest extensions and plug-ins.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_third-party_service_to_download_YouTube_videos\"><\/span>Using a third-party service to download YouTube videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people wonder whether downloading YouTube videos is legal. While most videos are free, copyleft may prevent you from doing so. If you violate the terms of service, you could face legal action from YouTube. Third-party services provide an alternative, legal way to download videos from YouTube. There are several risks associated with using third-party services to download YouTube videos. Some downloaders may contain malicious software or malware, so be sure to check the site&#8217;s policy before using it.<\/p>\n<p>First, open your browser and copy the URL of the video you want to download. In order to download it safely, use a VLC media player. This is a secure alternative that can be used to download YouTube videos. After copying the video URL, open up VLC and click on Media. Select &#8216;Open Network Stream&#8217;. Once the video opens, you can click &#8216;Download&#8217; to save it to your PC or a third-party service.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_virtual_desktop_to_download_YouTube_videos\"><\/span>Using a virtual desktop to download YouTube videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to download YouTube videos is to use a virtual desktop. While many people may be happy with the convenience of watching videos on the web, it isn&#8217;t always possible to watch them on the go. You might not have Wi-Fi or enough storage space to watch them all. That&#8217;s where a virtual desktop comes in. It allows you to save a large number of videos at once.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual Desktop works well with 180-degree and 360-degree videos. If you want to play these videos on your virtual desktop, you&#8217;ll have to install a separate application called &#8220;Virtual Desktop.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve installed the software, simply copy the YouTube 360-degree video link and paste it in the app&#8217;s video player tab. Virtual Desktop will download the highest quality video for your virtual reality headset and save it to your My Videos360 Videos folder.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_YT_Scribe_to_auto-transcribe\"><\/span>Using YT Scribe to auto-transcribe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to use an app that will auto-transcribe YouTube videos, try YT Scribe. This tool lets you see the text as it plays, and you can edit it. You&#8217;ll need to enable the app&#8217;s access permissions so it can work properly, and you&#8217;ll need to start the video and select the transcript format. Once the transcription is done, you can edit the text and save it to your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Once the process has been completed, simply log into your YouTube account and click on the &#8220;Transscribe video&#8221; button. Select the language and subtitles, and click &#8220;Publish&#8221; to have the transcripts produced for you. Once the transcription is ready, you can review it to make sure it&#8217;s accurate. It also highlights any words you may have missed. It&#8217;s also easy to change the subtitles if they&#8217;re not quite right, which means you won&#8217;t have to waste time typing out words you don&#8217;t want to write out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_VLC_player_to_download_YouTube_videos\"><\/span>Using a VLC player to download YouTube videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to download YouTube videos, you can use the VLC media player. Just copy the video&#8217;s URL and paste it into the network URL field of the media player. The player will then play the video. After a few seconds, you&#8217;ll be prompted to enter the video&#8217;s codec information. Once you&#8217;ve entered the correct information, click &#8220;Download&#8221; and the video will download to your PC.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use Mozilla Firefox to download the video directly. The download will be saved to your computer. To download the video, right click on the video and select &#8220;Save Video As&#8221;. The path may appear as html but is actually a file with a video. Afterwards, you can open the video in your favorite player and play it. Afterward, you can copy the video&#8217;s URL and paste it in the VLC media player.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"259\" width=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dCNTQmbqFSs\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Download a YouTube Video?
