The 'download this video' button was not displayed on YouTube, while it did work fine on other video streaming and hosting sites.Īfter some digging around and testing, I found a way to download videos from YouTube using IDM. Recently, I tried to download YouTube videos and discovered that IDM did not support this out of the box. It is easy to use, very powerful, and one of the best video and media downloaders available on the platform. Internet Download Manager (IDM) has been my preferred download manager for quite some time on Windows devices.
