Sometimes this step doesn’t always work the first time, but simply pressing that green download button again will usually make it happen. This will also remove the donation prompt and comes with full instructions on how to unlock the Pro features on other computers. 1080p and MP3 are only available with the “pro” version, which unlocks after making a one-off donation to the developer. I love the choice of options, which include MP3 for the “podcast listening” experience on my bike. This may take a moment or two, depending on the size of the clip. Clicking it will allow us to download the video in a variety of resolutions.įrom what I can tell, this magic is made possible by Dishita’s server downloading the video and audio separately, then muxing it together again for us to download. Once installed into Firefox, it displays a handy green Download button underneath each video. It’s available for free from the Firefox Add-Ons repository. Thankfully I found a Firefox Add-On by a developer named Dishita, called Easy YouTube Downloader.
Most solutions, online and offline, can handle 720p for free, but again that’s not what I was looking for. I hunted around for a solution, and doing a quick Google search presented several contenders – many of which no longer work since YouTube have once again re-jigged some aspect of their operation.
Either way, my desktop streams are usually 1080p, and that’s what I’d like to download for local archiving. Right now (February 2019), YouTube only allows me to download a 720p version of my own clips, and a YouTube Premium subscription is required to download other users’ footage. Hence I was looking for a way to extract full 1080p HD footage from YouTube, ideally both for my own files as well as those from other users. I guess there’s just so many buttons to press in the heat of the moment. When I do live streams on YouTube, I frequently forget to record my programme locally.
