How To Download Youtube Videos On Android

Method 1: Save Offline Videos With YouTube Premium

YouTube lets you save videos for offline viewing, but it restricts downloads to a maximum of 360p resolution when using a free account. If you have a Premium subscription, then you can use it to download and watch videos later on. Here is how you can do it.
You should not download copyrighted content from YouTube using third party services. This is against YouTube’s Copyright and Free Use Policy and may result in your account getting suspended. Here you will find all the saved videos. This feature is available for free in certain regions like India for free but limited to 360p quality. Note that you cannot view these videos outside of YouTube.
