In this video, we would like to show you how you can automatically download videos for offline use with the help of Google Colab and a specific library, which we will not mention by name. In doing so, you can learn new skills or extract the audio from the videos. As the manager of a small business, you can benefit from this solution by, for example, downloading training videos and making them available to your employees without the need for an Internet connection. This solution can also be helpful for analyzing competitor videos or using sound recordings in your own productions. In the first part of the code, you will learn how to install the necessary library. The command line, PIP Install PyTube, is used for this. We then import the library into our workspace. In the next step, you will be asked to enter the URL of the video you want to download. This is done using the input command where you are asked to enter the web address of the video. You will then be asked to enter the storage location for the video. The path in the videos folder is preset for this, but you can also change it. In the next step, the library is used to download the video from the URL entered. All video streams are retrieved and sorted by file size. The smallest video is selected and downloaded. To conclude the video, we would like to point out that you can now register on crowdcompany.net for just €1 to build your own AI solution for your company without having to invest a lot of time or money. We hope you enjoyed this video and learned something new. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us by email. Thank you for your attention and see you next time.
