Want to save YouTube videos to your Android? Opera Mini doesn't have a built-in YouTube downloader, but you can use it with many downloader sites to save almost any YouTube video. Because downloading copyrighted videos from YouTube is technically illegal, it is fine to download videos that aren't copyrighted. We'll show you some easy and safe YouTube video downloaders we've found to work great with Opera Mini so you can easily download YouTube videos to your Android.

Things You Should Know

  • You can use the Opera Mini Web browser to download videos to your Android.
  • When downloading YouTube videos, be sure the video is not copyrighted as this can get you into legal trouble.
  • Avoid installing any risky apps when downloading YouTube videos.

Steps

Download Article

  1. 1

    Open the YouTube video you want to download in Opera Mini. You can get there by visiting https//www.youtube.com in Opera Mini, searching for a video, and then tapping it in the search results.

  2. 2

    Copy the video's URL in the address bar. To do this, just tap the address at the top of Opera Mini to select it, tap and hold the selected address, and then tap Copy.

  3. 3

    Go to https://www.y2mate.com. This website allows you to download videos from YouTube in various formats. While this site is blocked from many regions and devices, it does currently work from Opera Mini on an Android in the United States and other regions.

    • Because sites that allow you to download YouTube videos operate illegally, video downloaders like y2Mate tend to be taken down often. If the site isn't working, try searching for "YouTube Video Downloader" and see what's available. Some alternatives that usually work:
    • Avoid installing any apps when downloading YouTube videos. While it can be tricky to find a video downloader that hasn't been taken down, installing apps from anywhere other than the Google Play Store can be risky.
  4. 4

    Tap the "Paste Youtube link" field and select Paste. The copied URL will appear in the field.

  5. 5

    Tap Start. A preview of the video will appear.

  6. 6

    Tap Download next to the format you want to save. For example, if there's a 1080p full-HD version of the video, tap the Download button next to that size.

  7. 7

    Tap Download to confirm. Because these sites are ad-supported, an ad site may attempt to open. Just tap the back button the browser to return to the previous page to exit the ad and return to the download prompt. When the video is finished downloading, you'll see a confirmation.

  8. 8

    Open your Android's Downloads folder. If you're using a Samsung Galaxy, you can open the My Files app and tap the Downloads folder there. Other Android users can tap Files by Google, Files, File Manager, or the name of your preferred file browser.

  9. 9

    Tap the downloaded video to start watching. Now that the video is saved to your Android, you can watch it when your offline at any time.

    Expert Answer

    Opera Mini is a mobile web browser app that focuses on speed and protection. The browser uses features that you would typically have to get as extensions on other browsers, like ad blocking, as well as site compression to ensure you're getting the fastest speeds around.

      Tips

      • You can find your downloaded video in your Android's "Download" folder, which is usually stored in the "Internal Storage" or "SD Card" storage section. You may need to use a third-party file manager (e.g., ES File Explorer) from the Play Store to find this folder.
