Youtube itself has a download button I thought. I haven't tried it since you have to be logged in to use it.

I remember that concert venues used to go absolutely berserk about people recording concerts, whether by video or audio. The Grateful Dead were a well known exception since they allowed audio recording, but they still prohibited video recording. There was a famous movie "Diva" about a guy who snuck a portable Nagra reel-to-reel audio tape recorder into opera performances to get bootleg recordings of a famous opera singer.

Today though, there are fancam vids of every concert uploaded to youtube immediately after the concert, or even livestreams during it. IDK what changed but I doubt it's damaging the concert industry. Ticketmaster on the other hand is destroying the industry.

    Can I just say that an audience full of wankers filming the concert on their phone, bright screens invariably blocking your view, so they can upload their shitty video almost no one will ever watch on youtube, does absolutely ruin the concert going experience.

    It does not have a download button. That might be from some extension you have loaded.

    It does have a download button in the Android app, but tapping it tells you to get YouTube Premium.

    I don't have any extension like that. There's a button. Idk what it does though.

    Added: maybe I'm confused, I see a "Save" button now but I had remembered "download". Perhaps I equated the terms.
