How to fix the “video download failed” issue.
Here are the most common reasons for failures with the video download methods.
- Log out of at least one of your accounts if your account is open on 10 devices.
- Try a different website and clear your browser cache as well. YouTube may have tightened its security, and now you cannot download through a specific website.
- Make sure the app is up to date.
