While YouTube doesn't offer a direct download option for videos on desktop, you can use various methods on macOS. Popular choices include dedicated third-party applications like 4K Video Downloader, Downie, or MacX YouTube Downloader, which allow you to paste video URLs and select quality for download. Alternatively, some browser extensions for Firefox or Chrome can facilitate downloads, or for more advanced users, command-line tools like yt-dlp offer powerful and clean download experiences directly through the Terminal.
