The official IDM download page is no help, as it does not list links to the extension. Since I may not be the only user of the download manager to experience that, I decided to write this guide that explains how to add the IDM Integration add-on / extension to popular browsers.įirst, what you need is the link to the extension.

It is possible that I skipped this during installation. The extension may be added to many popular browsers automatically during installation. All you need is to install the official extension for your browser of choice and you are all set to download the videos from the site. The 'download this video' button was not displayed on YouTube, while it did work fine on other video streaming and hosting sites.Īfter some digging around and testing, I found a way to download videos from YouTube using IDM. Recently, I tried to download YouTube videos and discovered that IDM did not support this out of the box. It is easy to use, very powerful, and one of the best video and media downloaders available on the platform.
