The ability to download YouTube membership videos depends on whether you have a YouTube Premium subscription.
If you have YouTube Premium:
-
Downloading on Mobile Devices (Phone/Tablet): You can download videos directly within the YouTube app on your phone or tablet. Look for the download icon (a downward-pointing arrow) below the video player. Once downloaded, you can access the videos in the "Downloads" section of the YouTube app.
- Go to YouTube on your mobile device.
- Find the video you want to download
- Tap the Download button.
- Go to your utab, then downloads to find your downloaded content.
-
Downloading on a Computer: Downloading directly from YouTube to a computer isn't officially supported by YouTube Premium. While the provided snippet mentions accessing downloaded content from a computer by going to the YouTube homepage, this likely refers to accessing downloaded content on a mobile device via your account, rather than downloading videos directly to a computer hard drive. The intended behaviour of downloaded videos is for them to be available offline within the YouTube app itself. There are no official download capabilities outside of the YouTube Mobile App.
If you do not have YouTube Premium:
- Downloading YouTube videos, including membership content, is generally against YouTube's terms of service without explicit permission from the content creator. Unauthorized downloading may infringe on copyright.
In Summary:
YouTube Premium allows downloading videos, including those available through channel memberships, for offline viewing on mobile devices through the YouTube app. Official methods for downloading directly to a computer are not available through YouTube Premium. Be wary of third-party apps and websites claiming to download YouTube videos, as they may violate YouTube's terms of service and could potentially be unsafe.
