Through many surveys, it has been observed that the interest of the audience is increasing rapidly towards watching videos instead of reading the text. Today, about 69% of people like to watch videos to learn more about a particular product or service.
There is no doubt that as compared to other platforms, people usually go to YouTube to watch any kind of video content. It is not only the 2nd most visited website in the world but also the 2nd most used social platform which is explored by 34.6 billion visitors monthly.
However, when we are exploring YouTube, sometimes we come across an interesting and entertaining video which we would like to download for later use or share with friends. As YouTube doesn’t provide a direct video download button, people usually go to Google and search for a YouTube video download software or online screen recorder which is no longer considered a better way.
These tools do not provide the users with any kind of video editing and multiple output options which means that if you want to cut a particular part of the video or convert it to a specific format, then you will have to download an additional video editing software for that.
So, instead of using YouTube video download software or online web-based tools that may be full of a bunch of advertisements or where the risk of user information being stolen is high, you can use a free screen recorder.
