webghost0101Its 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.
Use winget install yt-dlp-nightly to install it.
Then run yt-dlp -f “bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]” “https://youtube.com/watch?v=EXAMPLE” to download a video.
The file will be in C:\Users\YourUsername unless you use cd to enter a certain folder.
If yt-dlp stops working, then yt-dlp --update-to nightly should fix it.
