Is there any way to download all your own youtube videos?
I'm going to delete my youtube account soon. I used it as backup/storage for personal/home videos for like 10 years. I have maybe 200 videos on there, all private.
Before I delete the account I need to save them all. Is there any way to download them all without some third party plugin going 1 by 1 each video? Thanks.
Use YouTube-DL, it is objectively the best and fastest way. All you have to do use your channel link and download at the highest quality available.
Why delete it though?

I used it a year or so ago and it included all my youtube videos (which took up like 99% of the exported size)

where is the "download all videos" section?
In the next week or so I will be uploading a controversial video that may or may not go viral and don't want to risk my account banned and all of my private videos being deleted... again it's like 10 years worth of memories. I need to save them.
I think the last one (youtube) but just export everything I guess...
Chase Sanchez
Oh yeah, shit. I think I used this once and it didn't download any videos

I forgot how long, maybe some hours. Extracting the downloaded archive took a while too.

idkk I had videos in mine from a year ago I was mainly interested in what the takout would contain so I deleted most of the large files and compressed it again to save space but yeah
Evan Gutierrez
looks like it should be included still? or maybe this only applies to europe? or maybe videos are excluded if you have a flagged youtube account or something?
I have no idea
Cooper Jackson

Noah King

Cameron Flores

>10 years I feel old thinking about how old youtube is, just how many videos do you have there

I've had my YT account since mid 2005, my account is a dictionary word like youtube.com/word
Lost count on how many people and businesses mailed me offering money for complete control of the account, one of the big ones was EMI records. fuck em' - lowball fucks.
I got like 200 private family/other shit videos on there and some videos that went semi-viral... not gonna totally delete the account cuz its associated with my gmail but just want to back all the videos up before the inevitable takeover . it's also got like 2300 subscribers . dont care tho
