How to use the Free YouTube Downloader program with NVDA

Have there been times when you have been on YouTube watching something, and got any of the following: ads, buffering delays, losing the video or having to keep the whole lot even if you only want parts of it.

There is a program called Free YouTube Downloader which allows you to download the video to your PC or a portable device, so the show can be watched at a later date or on the run.

You can download a copy of the program from the following link at https://youtubedownloader.com/

Opening up the program

When you first open the program, it is broken up into different sections. These are covered below.

(Please note: When you open up the program you will hear NVDA say Enter search, paste YouTube URL or select local file to convert).

The first edit box is where your YouTube link will be copied to (via the clipboard) or it can be backspaced and the link pasted into this area.
