The screenshot is an old version of MacOS. Either install yt-dlp (at the command line) or, and this is better by far, get the Downie app. I’ve been downloading videos all morning.

yes yt-dlp,
no to random app that’s popular just a wrapper for yt-dlp with spyware and ads bundled in

There are no ads and not everyone can utilize the command line (I actually taught someone that they could double-click to do something super basic that you’d think everyone knows by now just last week). The developer (Charlie Monroe) makes quality software and I gladly paid for a license. Don’t shit on things you haven’t investigated.
