How to download your own video from your YouTube channel

Isn’t it annoying when an app or some software is set to automatically upload to YouTube, and not download to your computer?

It may seem convenient to have your video sent straight to YouTube, but what if you want to schedule these videos to be posted to Instagram? For whatever reason sometimes we need to download one of our own videos from YouTube.

Well here’s what to do about it.

  1. Log into your own YouTube channel, click on your channel icon in the top right corner, choose “YouTube Studio”.
