How to Download YouTube Videos on Kids Fire Tablet
Downloading YouTube videos on a Kids Fire Tablet can be a great way to keep your little ones entertained while on the go, especially when internet access is limited. However, due to parental controls and security measures implemented in the Kids Edition, the process is not straightforward. Here's a guide on how to achieve this:
1. Switch to Adult Profile:
- The crucial step: You need to temporarily switch from the Kids Profile to an Adult Profile. This grants access to the full capabilities of the Fire tablet, enabling you to download YouTube videos.
2. Download a Video Downloader App:
-
Navigate the Amazon Appstore: Search for reliable video downloader apps specifically designed for Android. Popular options include "Video Downloader Manager", "TubeMate YouTube Downloader", or "FVD Downloader".
-
Install the app: Once you find a suitable app, download and install it on your Fire tablet.
3. Download YouTube Videos:
-
Open the YouTube app: Launch the official YouTube app, find the video you want to download, and copy the link (usually by tapping the share icon).
-
Paste the link: Open your downloaded video downloader app, and paste the copied link.
-
Select desired format: Choose the desired video format and quality (e.g., MP4, 720p).
-
Start downloading: Initiate the download process.
4. Access Downloaded Videos:
- Find your downloads: Navigate to the downloaded video within the video downloader app's library or storage location.
5. Switch Back to Kids Profile:
- Return to Kids Profile: Once you have finished downloading the videos, switch back to your child's Kids Profile for continued use of their safe environment.
Important Considerations:
-
Copyright laws: Always remember that downloading copyrighted content without permission is illegal. Make sure you have the rights to download the video before doing so.
-
Parental control settings: You might need to adjust your parental control settings within the Kids Profile to allow access to downloaded videos or specific folders where they are saved.
-
Alternative options: While downloading YouTube videos directly is not supported on the Kids Fire tablet, there are alternatives like "YouTube Kids" app, which features kid-friendly content with options for offline viewing.
By following these steps, you can enjoy the convenience of downloading YouTube videos for your children's offline entertainment. However, always remember to prioritize safety and responsible content consumption.
