How to Save YouTube Kids Videos
YouTube Kids is a great platform for children to enjoy educational and entertaining videos. But what if you want to save a video to watch later offline or share it with others? Unfortunately, YouTube Kids doesn't have a built-in download feature.
However, there are still ways to save YouTube Kids videos, although it's important to note that some methods might require parental supervision and permission.
Here are a few options you can try:
1. Using a Screen Recorder:
This is the most straightforward way to save a YouTube Kids video.
- For Windows: Use the built-in Xbox Game Bar (Windows 10) or a third-party screen recording software like OBS Studio.
- For Mac: Use QuickTime Player or third-party screen recording apps like ScreenFlow.
Steps:
- Open YouTube Kids and play the video you want to save.
- Open your screen recording software and select the area you want to capture.
- Start recording.
- Once the video is finished, stop the recording.
- Save the video file to your computer.
Note: This method will save the entire video, including any ads that might appear.
2. Using a YouTube to MP3 Converter (with Parental Supervision):
This method allows you to download the audio from a YouTube Kids video, which can be helpful for listening to music or stories offline.
Important Note: This method often involves using third-party websites that may not always be safe for children. Always supervise your child while using such websites and ensure you're comfortable with their content.
Steps:
- Find a reliable YouTube to MP3 converter website.
- Paste the video URL from YouTube Kids into the converter.
- Choose the desired audio format (MP3 or others) and start the conversion.
- Once the conversion is complete, download the audio file to your device.
3. Using YouTube Premium (with Parental Supervision):
YouTube Premium allows you to download YouTube videos for offline viewing, but it doesn't include YouTube Kids. You can explore YouTube Premium features for your own use, but downloading content from YouTube Kids directly is not possible.
Important Considerations:
- Copyright: Always respect copyright laws. Downloading videos for personal, non-commercial use is generally acceptable, but sharing or distributing copyrighted content without permission is illegal.
- Safety: Be cautious when using third-party websites or apps, and always prioritize your child's safety.
Remember, the best way to enjoy YouTube Kids is to do so in a safe and controlled environment. Use the platform as intended, and be mindful of the content your child accesses.
