But what if you need to download a YouTube video?The officially supported way to download YouTube videos is to pay $11.99 per month for YouTube Premium, which allows you to save clips to your PC or phone for later viewing. However, not only does that cost money, but you don't end up with a file you can edit or feed to an AI voice-to-text program for transcription. Fortunately, it's easy to download any YouTube video as an MP4 file, which you can transfer to any device or modify or transcribe as necessary. Note that downloading copyrighted work without permission is illegal and downloading files from YouTube violates its terms of service (opens in new tab) and may lead to termination of your account.Below, we'll show you two different methods of downloading YouTube videos to your PC.

The 29-year-old content creator agreed on Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court to a felony charge for obstructing a federal investigation by deliberately destroying the wreckage of an airplane that he intentionally crashed in Santa Barbara County in November 2021, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for Central California. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, the U.S. attorney's office said.
