Youtube has all the bu开发者_Python百科ttons viz Upload, Browse, Subscribe, etc. but it doesn't come with an inbuilt 'Download' button. Viewers have to use third party software to download the videos from Youtube. I wonder why.

YouTube doesn't want people to download the video's.. and it may be illegal to do so anyway. They want you to watch it on there site.
