For educational purposes, I need to download videos from YouTube to make the learning process easier. Nobody wants to sit around while ads load when you’re trying to learn about something.
Throughout my time surfing the web, I noticed that the site x2mate.com has a lot of audio and video converting services. Their browser-based software takes in a URL of media and returns an option to download that video or audio right from the URL you entered.
Video Download Shortcut
There’s also a shortcut to downloading a video right from YouTube. Once you navigate to a video, for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvzMMcKHVR4
Once that video loads up into your browser, add AZ to the URL in your address bar. It will now look like this:
https://www.AZyoutube.com/watch?v=ZvzMMcKHVR4

If your content is available to be downloaded, you should get an option to download it. It’s very useful for people learning a new hobby who don’t want to sit through literally endless ads. Only download educational material that is legal to be shared.
It sucks that education is getting harder and harder to get your hands on.
