downloading a video

[Maggiemae]

For the last few years I have got a "invalid URL' message when trying to download a video from youtube. Any comments?

To be more clear.... I have my video to share (it is my video and not anyone else's) - and as 365 allows a video to be downloaded through youtube, I then used youtube to process my video. Then when choosing to 'share' it I copied the youtube address to the 365 uploading site. The message "invalid URL' always comes up.

@maggiemae Sorry about that, I have never tried and can unfortunately not help. I hope someone will be able to, good luck.

@maggiemae you shouldn't be able to download videos from YouTube, the copyright belongs to the person who created and uploaded it

[Maggiemae]

@koalagardens Oh, didn't specify - it is always my own video!

@maggiemae You need to go through a site that will capture the video and prepare it for you to download. I have occasionally used https://ytmp3.cc/a172/ to do this. you will save it as an mp4 or similar.

@jnr sigh breaching copyright makes me so sad

@maggiemae oh well that is strange! I just tested and it works from Chrome on my Mac OS in my Content section of the dashboard. hope you can find the reason if you lost the videos and need to back them up again.

@koalagardens When you have permission from the owner of the video you are not breaching copyright.

@jnr @koalagardens Sorry - my words do not make my intentions clear. I have my video to share (it is my video and not anyone else's) - as 365 allows a video to be downloaded through youtube, I then used youtube to process my video. Then when choosing to 'share' it I copied the youtube address to the 365 uploading site. The message "invalid URL' always comes up.

@maggiemae do you use the 'share' button on YouTube to get the address to put here into 365?

[Maggiemae]

@koalagardens Yes....! Is there any other way?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@maggiemae I think you need to contact Ross with this one. that is the way I've occasionally posted a YouTube here. sorry I can't figure that one out!
