How to download or save a YouTube video to computer or phone.


YouTube has been designed to only allow users to watch and view videos on their website. Many users want to download or save their favorite YouTube videos to their computer so they can watch them without being connected to the Internet or on other devices. Below are the steps required for downloading and watching YouTube videos on your computer for free.
Note: This page only provides instructions for downloading or saving a YouTube video to your computer. Instructions for saving a video as audio is on our saving only the audio of a YouTube video to an MP3 file page.
Tip: Unless you plan on transferring the video from your computer to your smartphone or tablet after it has been downloaded, we suggest using our how to download a YouTube video on a smartphone or tablet steps for these devices.

Saving YouTube video as a video file on your computer

Today, there are many websites that allow you to enter the URL of the video you want to save to your computer and get a link to download the video file. Below is a simple three-step process to download any YouTube video.
Note: If you are at a school or job that is blocking YouTube, these steps may not work.
1. First, go to the YouTube page containing the video you want to download. When you've found the page, press Ctrl + L on your keyboard to highlight the text in the address bar, and then Ctrl + C to copy the Internet address.
2. Once this address has been copied, paste that URL into the text field below by clicking inside the box and pressing Ctrl + V on your keyboard. Then, click the Download Video button.


Note: If the text field or Download Video button above is not visible or clickable, you can also go to savefrom.net and paste the YouTube video URL into the text field on that web page.
3. If done properly, a new window will appear displaying a preview of the video (as shown below), along with a green Download button and the video format. The default format for downloading the video is the MP4 360p format.
If you click on the "MP4 360p" format option, a drop-down list will appear. Click on the More option in that drop-down list to see additional video formats, such as FLV, 3GP, and WebM. Select the video format you want and click the green Download button.
Note: A Subtitles option may be available in the list when clicking on the "More" option. If subtitles are available for the YouTube video you are downloading, you can choose to include subtitles in the downloaded YouTube video.
After the file has been downloaded, it will be available in your downloads folder.

What about a private video?

You cannot download private videos because the YouTube download service would not have the necessary rights to access the video.

I still can't download a video

If after following the above steps, you do not get a preview like our example, make sure that the link you are using works by opening the page in a new window. Once verified as working, try the above steps again. If the steps continue to not work, try refreshing this page by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard and following the above steps again. If that still does not work you can try one of the other YouTube download sites below or use the link below for installing a utility to download videos on Windows, Linux, and Apple Mac OSX computers.

It is only saving as audio and not video

Make sure you are choosing the "MP4 360p" or "MP4 480p" option from the download link. If you choose "Audio MP4 128", it only downloads the audio and not the video. If you did choose the right download link to download the file, it is very likely that the player you are using does not have the necessary codec for video files. Download the free VLC player for your computer and try to play the video file from within VLC and not the player you are currently using.

YouTube bookmarklet, browser add-ons, and extensions

If you plan on downloading several videos, you can also use the Computer Hope YouTube bookmarklet. See our bookmarklet page for more information about bookmarklets. There are also browser add-ons for Firefox and extensions for Google Chrome to download videos from video sites.

The Official Top 40 Biggest Songs of 2016 so far revealed

As we race towards the end of 2016, Official Charts reveals the biggest songs of the year so far...

We’re three quarters of the way through 2016 already, and as we race toward the end of the year, Official Charts can now reveal the official biggest songs of the last nine months.
Out in front at Number 1 on the rundown, which is based on combined digital, physical and streaming equivalent sales, is Drake’s One Dance, feat. Wizkid and Kyla.
It’s no surprised to see the Canadian star’s debut chart-topper lead the way – One Dance was a monster hit, ruling the Number 1 spot for an incredible 15 weeks over the summer, equalling Wet Wet Wet’s stint with Love Is All Around in 1994.

To date, its combined chart sales stand at 1.695m, which includes 504,600 downloads and a whopping 119m streams. As well as also being the most streamed song of the year to date, One Dance also takes the trophy for the biggest one-week combined sales figure for a Number 1 single of the year so far, notching up 140,000 during its fourth week at the top in April. See the song's full chart history here
Up in second it’s another huge chart-topper, Lukas Graham’s 7 Years, which spent five weeks at Number 1 in February and March and has racked up 1.402 million combined chart sales. The track finishes top on the sales-only Top 10 (posted below), with 613,000 downloads so far this year.

In third place, it’s Mike Posner’s I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb remix). The singer-songwriter’s massive comeback track spent four weeks at the summit in March/April and has notched up combined sales of 1.292m so far.

Sia’s Cheap Thrills, which spent a month at Number 2 in April, lands in fourth place (1.281m chart sales) and Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s This is What You Came For, which spent two weeks at Number 2 in May, lands fifth, with a tally of 1.112 million.
Meanwhile, Zara Larsson’s Lush Life, which scored 13 weeks in the Top 10 between February and May, is sixth biggest song of 2016 so far (1.07 million), and Rihanna and Drake appear again in seventh place with Work (1.063m chart sales).
Despite being only released 10 weeks ago, Cold Water, the former Number 1 from Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and MØ, makes a showing at 23, with 734,000 chart sales, and another recent chart-topper, Closer, from Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, peeks its head round the door at 34 (577,700 chart sales).

10 ways to exit a relationship with dignity and respect

Breakups are bad, breakups are brutal, breakups are tough. Don’t get me wrong, there is no such thing as a “good breakup” even when people say they’re fine and they’re still friends, breakups hurt regardless. But there’s always a right way to do things, no matter how strange the thing is. There’s no need to have any animosity in the breakup, every breakup can be made easier, both people can still walk away with their respect and dignity intact, if they just try to be calm and listen to reason. I’ve made a list of ways, ways to exit a relationship without losing any dignity or respect, let’s begin.

10. Make your reasons heard, loud and clear

Make sure to talk to each other about the reasons, reasons why it has to end. It hurts a lot when a person doesn’t have closure in life, everyone needs closure or they’re stuck in a very negative state of mind for a long time, looking for answers. Make sure that you talk it out, in a non-aggressive manner. You won’t be with each other anymore, but you can certainly make sure your memories don’t get damaged along with the breakup, you need to make sure that you don’t accidentally fall into each other’s bad books in the long run. You two will always be able to walk by each other smiling, without having to hide from one another or feel guilty about it.

9. Make sure it’s in person

I’ve seen a lot of people break up over text messages and it’s just horrible. My ex broke up with me over a text, and I was just shocked and stunned for a good hour. I kept scratching my head thinking about it. About how someone could just write a few lines of text and end things forever? How can someone just forget about everything we shared and not even give me the courtesy of saying goodbye in person? It’s very immature and pretty painful, have the guts to talk about it in person, don’t let them feel used, don’t let them think less of themselves. Trust me, text breakups are the worst kind!

8. Speak truthfully

It’s always better to say the truth now rather than living a lie and letting that lie get exposed later. I know what it feels like to be lied to, it’s not pretty, it’s horrible beyond measure. Honesty should always be one of the main factors of any relationship, and you need to be honest till the end, even if it means you’ll end up losing your relationship, it’s still much better than lying to the person you love, doesn’t matter how big or small the lie is, it’s still a lie and you’re still keeping it from them. Always speak truthfully and from the heart, those who know the importance of honesty will never leave you. Those who care more about themselves will probably walk away, but that’s for your own good.

7. Don’t disappear

One of the worst ways of breaking up with someone is by disappearing on them, by slowly fading away, don’t do that. You’ll give unwanted torture to someone by being selfish and scared. If you can’t make it work, either talk about fixing it or talk about a mutual breakup, running away is NOT an option. If you respect each other enough, give each other the courtesy of being open and honest about how the relationship is going and where it’s headed. Disappearing from the relationship isn’t going to solve anything, it’s only going to make it harder for both of you.

6. Don’t let anger take control

90% of breakups turn ugly because of anger, because one of the two people start letting anger take over them and just give in and lose control, don’t let that happen to you. While it’s pretty natural and expected to be angry at a situation like this, it’s highly unhealthy for both of you. I’ve seen a lot of people who talk things out without being angry, anger just ruins the entire point of trying to talk things out, it just wastes every effort and leaves people more angry and upset. Be calm and be gentle and kind with your words, you don’t want to have any negativity and you don’t want to have any regrets later. Trust me, you’ll hate yourself after a few months if you’re the one who got angry at the breakup. It’s a different and peaceful feeling when you know you didn’t lash out and you kept your cool, trust me.

5. Don’t involve a third person

If you’re thinking of bringing that one best friend and making them a part of this conversation, don’t, just don’t, it’s only going to end horribly for all of you. Keep in mind that it’s your relationship, it involves you and your partner and no one else, you’ve shared intimacy together, you’ve made memories together, you’ve cried and laughed with each other, do NOT ruin all of those things by bringing a third person in the middle, either to make your point heard or to try and fix the situation.
If it’s meant to be fixed, the two of you can very easily do it on your own without the need of a third person playing counsellor.

4. Don’t have mixed feelings, decide

One of the worst things people do to each other is drag the relationship out, to avoid the stress and pain of a breakup, don’t do that. Do not be in a dragged relationship because of emotions, come out of it because you want to be a much better person in life and you know that the relationship you’re in is only having negative effects on the two of you. Don’t have mixed feelings during the breakup, make up your mind once and for all and go with that decision. If you decide to break up, make up your mind about it and do it. If you decide to sort things out, do whatever is necessary to sort things out. Just don’t have mixed feelings about someone.

3. Don’t announce it, it’s your privacy

Don’t be that person who puts up a Facebook status as soon as their relationship ends, respect your privacy. Of course, you can talk to your close friends about it because you obviously need to share the pain and sorrow with someone, but just don’t announce it to the world. I’m pointing at you – *person who changes their Facebook Relationship Status every two months*. This is especially bad when the two of you suddenly decide to be together again, the number of questions and explanations you have to give everyone is going to be a pain and people will only make fun of you then. Avoid the pain, keep it to yourselves.

2. Don’t bring up the past

One of the worst things to do during a breakup is to bring up issues from the past, issues that had long been resolved and don’t even exist anymore, it’s painful. When you bring up even the smallest of issues, it’s going to create a new list of problems and it’s going to make you angry, which is going to lead to a pretty painful breakup with a lot of animosity and hate. Keep it simple, be very precise about how you feel and avoid the past AT ALL COSTS!

1. Expect it to be unpleasant

Like I said before, breakups are bad, even the word has pain in it, so expect them to be unpleasant. There is no such thing as a “happy breakup”, if you believe in a happy breakup then it means you’ve seen too many movies. Breakups are always going to be sad, even if they’re mutual and the two of you know that you tried your best, there’s still going to be a lot of grief and pain involved.
Describe your most recent breakup below:
How was your most recent breakup? Was it bad? Was it painful? Or did you end things peacefully? Let me know in the comments below. And as always, stay blessed and keep the love alive!

Here's what Trump's election means for pro-Clinton Hollywood

Hollywood plunged into mourning after the stunning election results.
The overwhelmingly pro-Democrat, Hillary Clinton-supporting industry town was reeling Wednesday from the world-altering news that the rest of the nation had spoken and elected Republican Donald J. Trump as U.S. president.
Actor Tommy Chong, who drove past neighbors Steven Spielberg's and Ben Affleck's homes in the tony Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on his way to the airport Wednesday morning, says he could feel the depressed mood in the air.
"It's this combination of shock, despair and sadness, and definitely anger," says Chong, who was personally pleased that Californians voted in a ballot measure to legalize marijuana for recreational use. "Thank God pot is legal now, so we have something that can get us through the next four years."
"But this is a town full of actors — we get rejected all the time," adds Chong, a Bernie Sanders supporter who voted for Clinton. "Work will go on in Hollywood. We're going to move on to the next gig."

What kind of first lady will Melania Trump be?

It's too early to determine just how the entertainment capital of the world will be eventually affected by a Trump presidency. But it's doubtful there will be much immediate change in the production of movies and TV, says Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University and an expert on the intersection between politics and culture.
"As long as there's continuity of government, I don't see this having a big effect on Hollywood," he says. "How the entertainment industry makes movies isn't going to change in the short term."
People are always tempted to predict major change after big and surprising things happen, Thompson says. "That's the mistake we made after Sept. 11, when everyone said 'Irony is dead' and we're not going to make more movies with explosions in them, and that kind of thing." It didn't happen.
"People who didn't vote for (Trump) are shocked and unhappy today, but that was true with (George W.) Bush in 2000. Whether that will change the dynamic of what (Hollywood) makes and how they make it?" Thompson left that question hanging.


Jeff Bock, senior box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations, predicts the election results will push filmmakers to make more political films, political statements within films and satire. That shift will take time to materialize.
"Whenever there is a lot of strife and Hollywood is up against something, creative energy gets pumped into the process," says Bock. "More political films will work into the pipeline, that will happen. And expect the old white guy to return as the Hollywood  prototype villain for the next four years — we haven't seen that in a while. He will now have a big hairpiece."
Even the concept of satire — especially political satire, which surged during the contentious election, from Stephen Colbert to Samantha Bee — has been called into question. Omarosa Manigault, a former contestant on The Apprentice and Donald Trump advocate, told Independent Journal Review at Trump’s election night party in New York City that Trump's enemies will be placed on a special list "so that when we get into the White House, we know where we stand."

USA TODAY

Guns, politics and Hollywood collide

"Retribution" against Hollywood and the media, a favorite Trump target, is a distinct possibility, says Rich Greenfield, a securities analyst at BTIG Research.
"The media industry broadly defined (spanning news and entertainment organizations) aggressively supported" Clinton, he wrote Wednesday in a research report for his company. It's "unclear what President-elect Trump could do, but (it's) certainly an unquantifiable risk for the sector overall. Donald J. Trump was a wild card as a candidate.  We will see if the same applies to his presidency."
Syracuse professor and free speech expert Roy Gutterman points out that satire is protected by the First Amendment and the Supreme Court. But the mood is cautious, especially with Trump slotted to fill a Supreme Court vacancy.
"The concern is, everything is changing. My hope is that satire still has the same First Amendment protections tomorrow that it had two days ago, but everything seems to be topsy-turvy right now," says Gutterman.

5 fall movies to see for perspective on the election

Historian Douglas Brinkley, whose books include The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America, expects the Trump White House to open its doors to celebrities — that is, conservative ones — and country stars, rather than the usual train of actors who have graced the White House during the Obama administration.
“Donald Trump is an uber-celebrity," Brinkley says. “I’m sure that the Trump White House is going to be having all sorts of celebrities there, but the core constituents will be more conservative. You know, a White House dinner for Clint Eastwood, or a screening of Mel Gibson’s new movie.  It’s not going to be inviting rock 'n' roll singers to perform, like Hillary Clinton did with Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen."

USA TODAY

Lady Gaga protests Trump's victory, calls fans to stand up for 'kindness'

Industry website TheWrap.com founder and editor Sharon Waxman says one immediate impact will be soul searching by waves of vocal celebrity Clinton supporters, who range from Madonna to Lady Gaga to Justin Timberlake.
"Many of those celebrities who worked for Hillary Clinton are wondering if their contribution didn't help — or worse, hurt," says Waxman. "No one has missed the fact that virtually no major stars worked on the Trump campaign. It raises the takeaway question for celebrities: What is the nature of their influence and their connection to fans?"
Marc Fisher of The Washington Post, co-author of the biography Trump Revealed, predicted a "flowering of protest art: movies, videos, books and so on that pose a challenge to Trump’s ideas and values." But he also thinks Hollywood will search for ways to connect with Trump’s supporters.
"That could mean a golden few years for writers and directors who specialize in themes connected with class conflict, military matters, faith and cultural issues such as family, marriage, sexuality and technology," says Fisher.


Conservative filmmaker Lionel Chetwynd says opposition from the Hollywood left to Trump was “more intense than anything I’ve ever seen, and I go back to Reagan. They swallowed everything they were told about him and the fear was almost as intense as Europeans hearing Hitler was on the march."
Chetwynd says Hollywood liberals have lost any connection to the “rest of the country,” even though they sell movies to this audience.
Franklin Leonard, founder of The Black List, an annual survey of Hollywood's most well-regarded but unproduced screenplays, says he doesn't know of any scripts in the marketplace that focus on Trump. "I imagine there will be quite a bit written about that in the months and years to come," he says, although two relevant scripts made the list in recent years: Rodham, "a Hillary Clinton script about her political coming-of-age," that hit the list in 2012, and College Republicans, "a script about Lee Atwater and Karl Rove as young college Republicans."
The latter "tells a story of the evolution of the Republican Party and sort of how it became the party that could endorse Donald Trump," says Leonard. Neither script, however, is in development.

Business will continue, with an awareness of new sensitivities, he says. "The reality is that Hollywood is a highly capital-intensive art form," he says. "It’s natural for the people who make film to be sensitive to the realities of putting movies out in the marketplace."
Anne Thompson, editor at large at the industry website Indiewire.com, says Hollywood's purpose will take on greater importance as the nation yearns desperately for entertainment after a bruising two-year election cycle.
"Let’s just say, Disney’s Moana is going to do really well at the box office," says Thompson. "Hollywood's job has always been provide an escape in tough times. And Hollywood will continue to do that."

US Presidential Aspirant, Donald Trump Warns Nigerians in the US: ''If I Win, You Will Leave''

 
The Republican Presidential Candidate of the United States of America, USA, Donald Trump, has threatened to evacuate Nigerians from the country once he becomes President.
The American Billionaire, who tagged Nigeria as a corrupt Nation, issued the threat on Sunday during a rally held at Wichita, Kansas, claiming that: “Nigerians and Mexicans have taken all the jobs meant for honest hard working Americans.”
Trump noted this as the major reason many Nigerians leave for America.
“Why can’t they stay in their own country? Why? I’ll tell you why. Because they are corrupt.
“Their Governments are so corrupt. They rob the people blind and bring it all here to spend and their people run away and come down here and take our jobs.
“We need to get the Africans out. Not the blacks, the Africans. Especially the Nigerians. They’re everywhere.
“We can’t have that! If I become president, we’ll send them all home. We’ll build a wall at the Atlantic Shore.
“Then maybe, we’ll re-colonize Africans because obviously they did not learn a damn thing from the British.
“I went for a rally in Alaska and met just one African in the entire state. Where was he from? Nigeria! He’s in Alaska taking our jobs. They’re in Houston taking our jobs,” the Presidential Front-runner said.
The Nigerian Government has, however, not responded to the threat yet.
