How to download YouTube videos from own YouTube channel as an admin (YouTube Creator)

As an admin (YouTube Creator) of the YouTube channel, you may have uploaded different videos on your YouTube channel and you might have not saved all the raw videos uploaded by you on the YouTube channel. It is better to save videos on the computer that you have uploaded to your YouTube channel.

Why you should save/keep/download your YouTube videos that you have uploaded to your YouTube channel?

1. The main reason to download using this method is to keep your YouTube channel safe by complying with the YouTube terms and conditions. If you use any other method to download your own YouTube videos then you may be increasing watch time for the videos. As per YouTube terms and conditions you should not increase the watch time of your own video. If you watch your video yourself then you may face the penalty from the YouTube.
