How To Download from Youtube

Okay! A lot of friends and followers have been sending me messages and requests asking me to do a tutorial on how to download from YouTube that's why I had to pen this down. Firstly, YouTube protects user rights by ensuring you don't just download videos off their site without proper rights permission. But, like every programmer knows, there's always a backdoor to any online resource.
Firstly, there are softwares and apps that allow you download directly from YouTube (available here https://goo.gl/08Eng2) but the working principle is still the same.
Secondly, using your browser (Mozilla Firefox in the case of mine) allows you the installation of an ad on that displays a download link directly on the YouTube video page you want to download. But, some of these softwares and apps may take up space on your device and most of them force you to view interrupting and unnecessary adverts. So, am going to show you how to download directly from your YouTube on your browser.
The first method is as enumerated below:
1. Go to your browser and type www.youtube.com
2. Search for the video you want to download
3. Click on the video and wait for it to load
4. Allow it to load then pause the video
5. Go to the address bar on your browser and you'll see something like this www.youtube.com/?/#watch/Vq3AhQng4Z
6. Now add ss before the youtube on that link (like this www.ssyoutube.com/?/#watch/Vq3AhQng4Z)
7. Delete everything between the com/ and watch (like this www.ssyoutube.com/watch/Vq3AhQng4Z)
8. The click enter or go (as it applies to your browser)
It will then take you to a page that will enable you download directly, in the format of your choice, the video you want to download.
Also, you could still download via this method by performing step 1 to 5, then step 7 but without the "ss", copy the link, go to www.savefrom.net, paste the copied URL/link in their search bar and click download.
About the ad on, click your browser settings tab, click add ad on, search for savefrom.net then install the ad on. After downloading and installing the ad on, every time you open YouTube on your browser a download option button is displayed on any video you click on YouTube.
Now, you can download your favourite videos from YouTube directly.
Thank me later by sharing the link to this blog with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, BBM and every other social network you belong to. After all, it's a free world.
