Python is a very powerful programming language, and YouTube, as you know, is a platform for watching videos and listening to music very easily. This tutorial wants to tell the ways to download videos from YouTube directly using a programming language.

The Traditional Method

As for the traditional method, whenever I want to download any video, I change “www” from the video URL into “ss” at the beginning of every video like this.

It will bring us to the download page from savefrom.net

Okay, that’s the traditional way. I want to make your code performance cool, like making it true.

The Code Ways

First of all, we should have the pytube library installed on our computer. You can install it using this command.

pip install pytube
