1. 1
   Install 4K Video Downloader on your PC or Mac. This freemium tool makes it easy to download all the videos from a YouTube channel, and you can get it for Windows, Mac, and Linux. With the free version, you can download 30 videos from a channel each day. To download more videos at a time, you'll need to pay for a license. To install:

   • Go to https://www.4kdownload.com and click the Download tab.
   • Click the 4K Video Downloader+ tile.
   • Click Download next to your operating system to download the installer.
   • Double-click the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
   • When you open the 4K Video Downloader for the first time, you'll need to go through a series of welcome screens. Once you're done, you'll arrive at the main interface.
2. 2
   Copy the YouTube channel's URL. To do this, click the channel's name under any YouTube video, select the URL in the address bar, right-click the selection, and choose Copy.

   Click Paste Link in 4K Video Downloader. A menu will expand.
4. 4
   Click Download the Channel. This pastes the copied link into the downloader and scans the channel for videos to download. Once the scan is complete, the videos will begin to download.

   • If you see an "Empty Channel" error, the channel either does not have videos available to download or only contains copyrighted videos.
   • You'll find the downloaded videos in your default Videos folder. For example, if you're using Windows, go to your Videos folder > 4K Video Downloader+ > (channel name) to find the videos.

YouTube Premium's Smart Downloads

1. 1
   Go to YouTube.com or open YouTube on your phone or tablet. If you pay for a subscription to YouTube Premium (formerly known as YouTube Red), you can easily download videos to watch offline. If you are using a PC or Mac, go to youtube.com in a web browser. On mobile devices, open the YouTube app.

   • If you'd like to subscribe to YouTube Premium, tap your profile photo at the top-right corner of the YouTube app, select Get YouTube Premium, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
   • Smart Downloads are videos that are automatically downloaded according to the videos you've already watched.
2. 2
   Go to "Downloads." The steps for this vary depending on the device you're using:

   • Computer & YouTube website: click Downloads in the menu on the left side of your screen under the "You" section header.
   • iPhone/iPad/Android: tap your profile picture and scroll down to find and tap Downloads.
3. 3
   Turn on "Smart Downloads." The steps for this vary depending on the device you're using:

   • Computer & YouTube website: Click Turn on or click Download Settings > Smart downloads.
   • iPhone/iPad/Android: Tap ⋮ > Settings > Smart downloads.
   • Since not every YouTuber allows their videos to be downloaded, this is the best way to find similar downloadable videos.
