How to save a YouTube video to a camera roll
YouTube is certainly our go-to app for searching videos for entertainment, music, information, education, and a variety of other purposes. According to Statista, YouTube has evolved from a collection of amateur videos to the world's largest online video platform.
Therefore, it is not surprising that YouTube has more than 2.68 billion active users as of 2023 given that it offers a wide range of topics that we can think of.
However, perhaps some of us are tired of watching our favorite YouTube video online because it is consuming our data plan, or we simply want to save it so we can watch it again. Some users saved YouTube videos to use or incorporate into their projects by pasting them into online video mergers. This approach can be a great way to elevate the video projects that you have on your plate.
Who wouldn't want simple access to our desired videos, right? And this simple access can be done by just saving the video to your camera roll. Now, the question that will arise in our minds is: how can we save YouTube videos to our camera roll? There are a variety of ways to do this, but don't worry, we've got you covered!
In this post, we'll provide a tutorial on how to save YouTube videos to your camera roll. So, without further ado, let’s get started into these steps!
Method 1: Use a Third-Party App
To save YouTube videos to our camera roll, we need to take advantage of a third-party software or website. There are several applications, as well as websites, accessible on the App Store and Google Play Store that allow us to save YouTube videos directly to our phone's camera roll.
Here's how to use this method to save YouTube videos to your camera roll.
Step 1: Get a third-party application or look for a trustworthy website that allows you to download a YouTube video.
Step 2: Launch the app or website that you chose.
Step 3: Go to the YouTube app and find the video you want to download in your camera roll.
Step 4: After you've found the video you want, look up its link and paste it into the third-party application or website. To do this, simply select "share" and then "copy link", and the video will be copied to your clipboard automatically.
Make sure that you check the link you copied so that the third-party application or website can immediately detect the video.
Step 6: Choose the desired video quality. The quality you select will determine the size of the video. The size of the video increases as its quality rises.
Step 7: When the download is finished, the video will be stored to your camera roll.
Method 2: Using an iOS Shortcut
Another option is more favor to the iOS users. If you have an iOS device, you can download YouTube videos directly to your camera roll by using a shortcut. The shortcut is an already-made option that allows you to automate various iPhone actions.
Here's how to use this method to save YouTube videos to your camera roll.
Step 1: Launch the YouTube app on your iOS device and search for the video you want to save.
Step 2: Tap the "share" option underneath the video, followed by "copy Link."
Step 3: On your iOS device, go to "shortcuts" and press the "create shortcut" button.
Step 4: When you go to "add action," choose "get contents of URL," and then press "add."
Step 5: Select "add action" once more, look for "get media," and choose it.
Step 6: Click "add action" again, look for "save to photo album," and click it.
Step 7: To save the shortcut, use the "save" button.
Step 8: To download a YouTube video to your camera roll again, open the YouTube app, choose the video you want, press "share," and then tap "shortcuts." Choose the shortcut you just created, and the movie will be downloaded to your camera roll.
You may be wondering if it is legal to download YouTube videos in this way. It's a little unclear, but one thing we should keep in mind is that downloading videos from YouTube without the owner's permission is illegal. Therefore, be sure you have the right to download the video you wish to save in your camera roll by asking permission from the owner of the video.
Wrapping Up
In conclusion, saving videos from YouTube to your camera roll is a convenient function that may save your time, data, and help you in some ways. By following these steps, you can enjoy the video you downloaded, utilize it for your project, or simply watch it repeatedly without worrying about an online connection.
