Go to https://www.y2mate.com. This website allows you to download videos from YouTube in various formats. While this site is blocked from many regions and devices, it does currently work from Opera Mini on an Android in the United States and other regions. Because sites that allow you to download YouTube videos operate illegally, video downloaders like y2Mate tend to be taken down often. If the site isn't working, try searching for "YouTube Video Downloader" and see what's available. Some alternatives that usually work: https://www.y2mate.is https://yt5s.com https://www.y2mate.tv https://download66.com Avoid installing any apps when downloading YouTube videos.

Tap Start. A preview of the video will appear.

Tap Download next to the format you want to save. For example, if there's a 1080p full-HD version of the video, tap the Download button next to that size.
