Videos are a great way to learn recipes from all over the globe. With the millions of detailed videos on the internet, you can become a master chef and whip up amazing dishes for your family. However, if your internet connection is slow, it may lead to buffering issues that make the video playback less than ideal. Of course, it can be annoying if the video suddenly stops while you are in the middle of prepping your meal. It is important then to have an offline version of your recipe videos to fall back to when your internet connection decides to act up. If you want to download your favorite recipe videos, try the next few methods.
Use YouTube
If your chosen recipe video is on Youtube, then you are in luck because YouTube’s mobile application, for both Android and IOS, allows you to download videos. However, this feature is available only for select countries, so you have to check whether your region is included. Additionally, not all videos are available for download, and the ones that are, still include ads. Nonetheless, this remains the easiest way to download YouTube videos and watch them offline.
If you are willing to pay for the platform’s premium service, though, you can opt for YouTube Premium, previously known as YouTube Red. This service requires a monthly subscription, and the price differs across countries. However, in the United States, it costs $11.99 a month. YouTube Premium allows subscribers a wide array of benefits, such as downloading any video without ads. Also, it enables you to play the videos in the background even if your mobile’s screen is turned off. If you think that the cost of the monthly subscription is too steep, just know that you get access to YouTube Music as well; that’s a catch!
Desktop Software
If the video you want to download is on a website other than YouTube or is simply not available for offline viewing, you can instead turn to desktop software. To download Youtube clips that are protected or videos from another platform, you can use special desktop software that enables you to watch your favorite recipe videos offline. When considering such software, make sure that the program you end up using supports 4K and 8K resolutions, MP3 to MP4 conversions, and live stream downloads. Some of these downloaders are free while others are paid, so you have the freedom to choose the best one for your budget and needs. These programs are extremely versatile and can grab videos from any website, so you can pick the website you want to download the video from and the software will do the rest. How easy!
Browser Extensions
If you want a free way of downloading recipe videos and do not want to use dedicated software, then this method is for you. By using a browser extension, you can grab videos and choose the resolution you want. However, if it is your first time using browser extensions, you should learn how to manage them to avoid any potential security problems. Aside from such drawbacks, what is great about these add-ons is that they can help you download clips from any website. Moreover, they are available for both chrome and Firefox. So, head to your browser’s store to choose from a variety of free extensions.
Screen Recording
Some videos are protected, so you will not be able to download them using the previous methods. Don’t worry, though, because there is an easy way to fix this issue. By simply using a screen recorder, you can get an offline version of your recipe videos. If you are using Mac, run QuickTime Player and select the
