If you have ever tried to stream a video for an audience, you have probably run into the issue of the video pausing while it downloads or having to wait for an advertisement to run first. This can be frustrating. A way to work around this is to use https://www.vdyoutube.com. VDYoutube is a free web service that allows you to download video and audio files (mp3, mp4, flv, webm, etc.) from different websites like YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, and many more. No third party program installation is required, no plugin, not even a signup. You just have to search or directly copy the URL into the box on their website. You can even just put "vd" after the www in the URL and it will download from there. For example, you could change https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frKSICZR-zE to https://www.vdyoutube.com/watch?v=frKSICZR-zE (notice the change after the www) and then you would be taken to the site with a download button. But be careful, video files are large. This could fill up your computer's hard drive fast. You should move any downloaded videos to a folder on your Google Drive after using them. Then you can just download them back to your computer or any other computer when you need to. You could also share access to them on Google Drive with students. If you have never uploaded a file to your Google Drive, see the directions here.
Legalities:
According to the Fair Use provision for teaching found at https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ21.pdf, 107, Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106a, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." So don't share beyond your students. Also, pay attention to the terms of service on the site you download the video from. Some require you to contact the person/entity that uploaded the video in the first place for permission to download it.
