Now when you go to any video on YouTube you¡¯ll get a ¡®Download¡¯ button right below the video, next to the ¡®Share¡¯ button. Clicking on it would begin the download process (which took like a second for me).

You can change the quality of the download using the gear icon and changing the resolution accordingly. You can also go to the Downloads section to rewatch downloaded content and delete them in case you¡¯re running out of space.
It is important to note that downloading the video won¡¯t let you share it on other platforms as a video file -- you¡¯ll only be able to share it via a YouTube link. It is also important to note that not all browsers will be compatible first. For starters, you¡¯d need the updated versions of Chrome, Edge (Chromium) and Opera.
