Some of us have no idea of how to save the videos to your Android mobile for watching without internet connection. Here I’d like to introduce three best ways to download YouTube videos for Android freely.

The traditional way is to download videos to computer and send them to our Android mobile. There are lots of downloading applications you could choose, such as Savevid, Keepvid and Video Download Capture, any of which could be used as a YouTube downloader for Android. Then I will illustrate how to save YouTube videos to Android phone by citing an example of Video Download Capture, a powerful software that could be used both as a downloader and converter.
