This wikiHow teaches you how to use UC Browser to download YouTube videos on your Windows computer. While you can no longer download videos via UC Browser's built-in settings, you can use a site called Online Video Converter to download most YouTube videos. Attempting to download heavily protected videos, such as music videos or paid movies, will usually result in failure.

What do I do if the video toolbar is not giving me the option to download?

Community Answer

UC Browser recently disabled the option to download YouTube videos via the video pop-out bar. This is due to copyright issues filed by YouTube, so you'll have to use the website listed in this article rather than using the pop-out menu from now on.

Warnings

Downloading and distributing a copyrighted video is illegal. If you must download YouTube videos, do so only for your own personal enjoyment.
