You can download videos from many sites using this (Twitter, YouTube, etc):

Then you can upload to these recommended video hosts:

You can also throw it on decentralized general purpose storage services:

Or pin the file to IPFS yourself:

Or a centralized but privacy respecting encrypted services:

We're heading towards a significantly more censorious future so consider looking into tools that are even more censorship resistant like:

Usage depends on what platform you’re on, but I’ll give you the breakdown for macOS. It’s really straight forward:

~ INSTALL HOMEBREW ~

  • Go to brew.sh with a web-browser
  • Copy the command under the “Install Homebrew” header
  • Open Terminal (Applications/Utilities)
  • Paste into Terminal and press return
  • Enter your administrator password
  • Wait for install to complete

~ INSTALL YOUTUBE-DL ~

  • In terminal enter “brew install youtube-dl” without quotes
  • Enter your administrator password
  • Wait for installation to complete

~ USE YOUTUBE-DL ~

  • Find a video link on a supported service (http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html)
  • Open terminal and enter “youtube-dl” then a space then paste the video link
  • Press return and youtube-dl will visit the site, find the actual location of the video file, and download it to your computer.

I’m a big fan of local backup of data generally, but it’s especially important in our current media environment. For an individual occasional video download online tools or invidious (invidious.snopyta.org) can work. I find myself wanting to download whole channels sometimes though. You can paste a playlist link from YouTube instead of an individual video link and the utility is smart enough to recognize it and download all the videos. You can target a specific channel. It’s very useful.
