You expect that technology should be available wherever a person is, even when they’re not connected to the internet. This also applies to YouTube videos.

Let’s face it, there is nothing more frustrating than watching your favorite YouTube video buffer due to a lost internet connection.

Perhaps you’re traveling to a location with poor internet and cell coverage, and offline video is exactly what you need.

You also don’t want to download those malicious browser extensions or visit online video downloader sites because they’re full of spammy ads and annoying pop-ups.

This is why I’m not surprised you’re interested in learning how to download YouTube videos without any software. 

Important: Most videos on YouTube are copyrighted, which means that downloading them without compensating the artist is unlawful. Before downloading anything, make certain that it is allowed to do so. Additionally, avoid using anything you’ve downloaded to earn money or to infringe copyright. Take care with what you download and, most importantly, do not redistribute downloaded videos from YouTube without authorization.

The Solution

After nearly four hours of effort, I was finally able to download YouTube videos without using any software.

The steps for downloading a YouTube video without the use of a browser extension or third-party software are straightforward. All that is required is a modern web browser such as Chrome.

Make sure the desired video is available in 720p.

1080p, 2k, and 4K videos can be downloaded by this method but the audio and the video will be separated.
