Load a permitted public YouTube playlist, review the entries you want to save, and track each item in the desktop queue. Source access and available formats still apply to every video.
Completely free. No registration or account required.
A playlist is a group of separate sources and tasks.
Keep the returned list, selected tasks and completed files separate.
Start with a public playlist containing a few videos you own or may download. Copy the playlist URL. Private lists, Watch Later and mixes can require account access and are not guaranteed imports.
Open Add URL, paste the playlist link, turn off One-Click Download and choose Fetch. Wait for the returned list before counting or selecting items.
Review the loaded entries and deselect anything you do not want. Note the number selected; an inaccessible item can fail separately from the rest of the list.
Choose the available output type and quality. Check Download location in General settings. Availability can differ by entry; a playlist does not guarantee one resolution for every video.
Choose Download Selected, then compare queued, completed and failed items. Open the output folder and count the files that actually finished.
Read the failing task message, fix source access or change to an available format, then use the retry control. Inspect the existing destination files before rerunning the whole playlist.
These counts describe different stages.
A returned playlist entry is a candidate for downloading. Select only the entries you need, then check their individual queue status. Count files in the destination after completion rather than assuming every loaded entry produced a file.
Private, deleted, age-restricted or account-dependent entries may not be available. Use only access your account is entitled to use. VidBee does not bypass DRM or platform restrictions.
Match the output to source availability.
Choose an audio output for permitted media when the task offers it. Check the resulting extension and play the exported file. A filename ending in MP3 is not proof that conversion completed.
Set the destination before starting the playlist and inspect what was saved. Do not assume that rerunning a list will always replace, skip or deduplicate existing files; check the task settings and result.
Finish the download before using the saved media.
A visible failure is useful information. Check the message, original source and offered formats; after fixing the cause, retry that item and confirm a playable output. Repeated fetching is not a guarantee of recovery.
Source captions need to exist and be accessible. For a saved file without captions, use the separate local transcription workflow. The browser subtitle tool only extracts an embedded text track.
