Omah, thank you very much too for your help. It doesn't help that I don't know the technical names such as gate etc. So sorry. I'm such a duffer.

I've used "Video DownloadHelper" for a long time now. Very easy to use in Firefox.https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/fir...ownloadhelper/

Well, I tried to download Firefox but Windows 10 wouldn't let me. It said that it does not allow Firefox to be downloaded as apps other than from the store are not allowed because of security. It did recommend one downloader other than from the store but it was one that I had to pay for, so gave up.I then went to the store and chose Youtube HD downloader and downloaded it, but it doesn't give me any instructions on how to use it.
I give up!

Just had a look at the one you've downloaded. What a palaver. It looks like you have to run the program and copy your Youtube video link then paste it into the program's input window.

Thank you for the helpful info. I’ll see what I can manage to understand.

But honestly, trying to fathom out how to download a music video to my laptop itself is proving very frustrating. I have watched every Youtube video which tells one how to do the above, as well as putting the question in Google Chrome search box. They all have a method for doing it, but it all seems so technical that I get completely lost half way through. Even silly things like "Open up your Browser" is gobbledegook to me, my browser is Google Chrome and I am already using it to ask the questions of them, so how can I open my browser????
To any experts on here, this must sound so silly, but this technically challenged lady would be so grateful for any help. All I want to do is download a music video from Youtube directly to my laptop so I can listen to it offline.
Can anyone help manoeuvre me through the process of doing this please?
Over the years i have tried many YT video downloaders and eventually opted for a paid program called 'Internet Download Manager'. https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/
The paid version costs £20 and in my opinion it is well worth the money. I have been using it for a few years now and mainly use it to save music videos from YT (many music videos from the 60's through to the 80's).
It is extremely easy to use and i would recommend it to anyone wanting to download YT videos

Re: Can someone please help?
Most people want the video from youtube as well as the music. But just in case you are happy with just the audio and you have an audio recorder - preferably a digital one that records MP3 - All you need to do is run a line from the audio output of your PC to your recorder and you get high quality recordings that you can transfer to your PC, phone or burn to a CD. Sure you don't get the pictures but you have the audio to store and as long as you like without going onto the internet. You can do the same with Spotify. Just keep them all for your personal use only. Don't share them with anyone else. Illegal here and I'm sure everywhere else.

Try using Freemake, it is excellent and it is free.https://www.freemake.com/downloads/
There is a version especially for downloading Youtube videos but personally I would recommend the Video Converter because it does so much more as well.
All you do is go to the video you want click on "Share", copy the offered link then in Freemake click on "Paste URL". Finally you choose the format you want to save it in (I prefer MP4 but if you only want the music select MP3) and off it goes.
Easy as...
