Download YouTube videos or audio


Description

jayd ios12
Download YouTube videos and optionally you can grab only the audio, it preview the result and with the share sheet you decide where to save it. It doesn’t have additional configurations.

There is support for downloading playlists from YouTube as well.

Instructions for use:

  1. Share a YouTube link (video or playlist) to the shortcut or alternatively copy the link to clipboard then run the shortcut

  2. The shortcut will process the link and prompt for Audio or Video to download

  3. If the link is for a playlist, you will be provided a list to choose the videos to download

  4. After downloading, the shortcut asks where to save (if the download type chosen is video) between iCloud Drive or Camera Roll

  5. The Quick Look action is used at the end to allow easy playing of the content

LightningUpdate is built in for ease of updating in the case of this shortcut needing some tweaks to fix issues.
