In today’s digital age, it’s not uncommon to come across a YouTube video that you want to save to your camera roll for later viewing or sharing with friends and family. However, the process of downloading a YouTube video to your camera roll can be a bit tricky, especially if you’re not tech-savvy. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to put a YouTube video in your camera roll, and provide you with some useful tips and tricks along the way.
Why Can’t I Directly Download YouTube Videos to My Camera Roll?
Before we dive into the steps, let’s first understand why you can’t directly download YouTube videos to your camera roll. The main reason is that YouTube’s terms of service prohibit users from downloading videos without permission from the content creator. Additionally, YouTube’s content is protected by copyright laws, which means that downloading videos without permission can be considered a copyright infringement.
However, there are some legitimate ways to download YouTube videos to your camera roll, and we’ll explore those methods in this article.
Method 1: Using the YouTube App
The first method to put a YouTube video in your camera roll is by using the YouTube app itself. While the YouTube app doesn’t allow you to directly download videos to your camera roll, you can use the “Offline” feature to save videos for later viewing.
How to Use the Offline Feature on YouTube
To use the offline feature on YouTube, follow these steps:
- Open the YouTube app on your device.
- Search for the video you want to save to your camera roll.
- Tap on the video to open it.
- Tap on the three dots below the video title.
- Select “Save offline” from the menu.
- Choose the video quality you want to save.
- Wait for the video to download.
Once the video is downloaded, you can find it in the “Offline” section of the YouTube app. However, please note that the offline feature only allows you to save videos for a limited time, and you won’t be able to transfer the video to your camera roll.
Method 2: Using a Third-Party App
Another method to put a YouTube video in your camera roll is by using a third-party app. There are many apps available that allow you to download YouTube videos to your camera roll, but be careful when choosing an app, as some of them may contain malware or viruses.

What is the purpose of saving a YouTube video to my camera roll?

The legality of saving YouTube videos to your camera roll depends on the purpose of saving the video and the copyright laws in your country.

However, if you’re planning to use the video for commercial purposes or distribute it without permission, you may be infringing on the copyright holder’s rights.
It’s always best to check the YouTube video’s terms of use and the copyright laws in your country before saving a video to your camera roll. You can also look for videos that are licensed under Creative Commons or have a clear statement allowing users to download and share the content.
