    I also learned that you can copy a video link and paste it into VLC media player and it will play!

    You can also use this trick to download YouTube videos without the need of a 3rd party website!

    1. Copy the URL of the YouTube video you wanna download

    2. VLC / Media / Open network stream… And paste your URL

    3. Once the video has opened, Tools / Media Information

    4. Copy the URL in the “Location” field and paste it into your web browser, you should have the option to save the video

    It’s a couple of steps but once you memorize what you need to do it’s a million times faster (and I’d wager equally times as private) than finding one of those websites to give you a link.
