We recommend refreshing the page or trying to download again at a different time. Usually, you can get a better download experience.

Why can't some YouTube videos be downloaded?
Reasons for not being able to download may include:
- The video is set to private or has regional viewing restrictions
- The video is paid content or for members only
- YouTube restricts the download of specific special formats
- The video link is invalid or has been deleted
We recommend using a link to a public video or trying to download in a different format.
