Most of the times, when we like a video, we simply download it. Some social media platforms do give us the option of downloading their videos directly from the site. But most sites do not allow that. This is due to licensing agreements between the site and the account owner that allows only that site to broadcast those videos.

This means no other user is allowed to freely download and use these videos. But we hardly ever think about it. We use video downloaders to simply download the video. We do not put any thought into the reliability of the downloader either. Most of us are hardly aware of cyber dangers and often perform actions that could put our digital identity to risk. To avoid such and other inconveniences, we suggest you follow the tips given below: 

Try to download only those videos whose copyright laws are clearly stated. Check the end of the description of the videos under “License” to do so.
To be on the safe side, turn on “Creative commons” under “Features” in the search filters.
Even if the video does have the “CC BY” tag denoting a free creative use, ask the owner’s ...
... permission just to be on the safe side.
Do not use any YouTube video, whole or part, in your own videos that have active monetization.
If you want to download a video for use in your own, check out the many channels on YouTube that provide stock videos for free.
After clearing the above steps, if you have copied a video link and are going to use a YouTube video downloader or YouTube video converter to download it, make sure the site or app you are using is a safe and reliable one.
Check reviews of the YouTube downloader before using and make sure what you downloaded was exactly what was advertised.
 Choose a downloader from a verified source or site only. Any app store that tries to add extra third-party apps to your download, or a website with too many or too unsavoury ads, that lead you to irrelevant pages that look like scams, should be steered clear of.
If the app or site is free but there are no ads, do not use it. It may indicate that the downloader is trying to inject some malware into your device.
Let your antivirus scan the online video downloader or the YouTube downloader application once to make sure there is no suspicious content or activity.
If your computer or phone starts lagging, crashing, freezing or behaving in any unusual way after using the site or installing the app, uninstall it immediately and do a deep scan and clean of your device.
When you use a YouTube converter and you are asked to choose a desired video format and quality, make sure the ones you choose are compatible with the media player of your device.

These are the most basic rules we must definitely follow. However, if you are ever in confusion, check cyber laws just to be sure.
