Do you mean you want to download YouTube videos to your Mac? If so, there a plenty of free apps that will do that. Just Google.


However, if you want to learn how to use OBS you should look on YouTube for some OBS for Beginners videos.

I have downloaded 2 apps....One click video converter and 2MP3 converter, and they don't seem to accept Youtube videos. The videos are not mine they are of a favorite singer. Does that make a difference?
