There are a handful of ways to download videos and music from YouTube to enjoy offline later.
  • You can download YouTube videos on your computer with a subscription to YouTube Premium.
  • Videos downloaded from YouTube and YouTube Music can only be played back in YouTube.
  • Without YouTube Premium, you can use VLC player to save YouTube videos for offline use.

You can stream billions of videos on YouTube, but sometimes, you might just want to download some for offline viewing. Downloading your own videos is easy, of course. But what if you want to save other creators' videos to watch offline later? There's a one-click Download button to do that, but you need to subscribe to YouTube Premium for it to work.
