However, most people don't want to always go on YouTube whenever there is need to see videos on YouTube especially; in areas where the network signals are mostly poor, where buffering takes more time than the video you are to see.
Anyways, there are many programs that claim that they can download videos from YouTube but when installed on your PC, you will find out that they are either not doing the work at all or that they are junks of viruses threatning your PC.

3- IDM -Internet Download Manager
I would have recommended IDM as the first and best Windows PC program for downloading videos from YouTube but it comes as a trial which means you have to purchase it after a period of 30 days to continue enjoying the full service.
I don't know why but majority hate paying for worthy service. Some even wish that everything in life be made free. I like free stuff, too. I can't deny it but I pay for services that are well worth it.
If truth be told, IDM is really good. I mean, it can download videos from any website. Just any website for as long as it is a recognised video format.

When installed, IDM automatically integrates with your browsers. Simply lunch any of your browsers for IDM to configure itself. This is done only once following a successful installation of IDM on your PC.
4- Visit the Website from which you wish to download the Video
Now, open the website from which you wish to download the video, navigate to the video you wish to download.
