There are some websites available on the Internet, from where you can directly download the videos from the sites such as YouTube or Facebook by just copying video URL and pasting. Visit the site such as:

import pytube
video_link = input("Paste the URL of Video Link")
yt = pytube.YouTube(video_link)
videos = yt.streams.first()
videos.download('D://Alanwalker')
Note: you must install pytube. install with the command pip install pytube
6. YOUTUBE DL
YouTube DL is a lot less user-friendly than most of the other approaches in this article; rather than a graphic user interface or a browser extension, it’s an old-fashioned command-line program where you actually have to type your commands.
This isn’t the easy way to do things, but it is very flexible and very powerful. YouTube DL is actively under development and gets regular updates, so it’s likely to continue working on YouTube even as the video site releases security “fixes” to stop these downloading programs from working.
Install YouTube DL as detailed on the install page; you can then either run the program from the command line or by using the optional YouTube DL GUI interface, available for download here.
The interface for YouTube DL is easily mastered, allowing you to add URLs to your download list and view your downloaded files. When downloads finish, they are added to your hard drive.
