Yt-dlp?

Its an open source tool to download youtube videos

About every mainstream youtube download program you or your parents have ever used are actually just a wrapper for this.

Bonus: If you want to learn more about coding its not that hard to make a script that automatically downloads the last video from a list of channels that runs on a schedule. Even ai can do it.

Is there like a “tutorial for dummies” for this? I tried to use it once but got nowhere.

It’s a command line tool. You type in “yt-dlp” followed by the url of a video, and it does the rest.

It has many other options, but the defaults are good enough for most cases.

I think you vastly overestimate my level of computer savviness.
