How to Watch YouTube Videos for Free

  • First of all, copy the link to the video you are watching.
  • Then open the VLC media player.
  • Under the “media” menu, it has an option named “Network stream” and that’s what you must choose
  • Inside the network stream window, paste the link you copied into the network URL and just hit play.

This plays the YT video in the VLC media player with no issues.

How to Download YouTube Videos for Free

1. Press Ctrl + J which opens up the codec info window. From that window, copy the location URL from the text area.

2. Now, paste this copied link into a browser like Chrome or Firefox. As it is the root path of the YT video, it plays the video as a normal HTML video, which could be downloaded just like that by clicking the download button

Or by right-clicking and selecting “Save as video”. Thus you can download videos using VLC media player or any other video player with network streaming capabilities in a few simple clicks.

The problem with this technique is that it can let download only non-encrypted videos which means some videos like official musical videos, trailer videos, and movie videos will be protected by YouTube which couldn’t be downloaded using this technique.

Another technique lets you download the initially processed YT video files and audio files separately. So if you’re interested, then here’s the video guide.
