YouTube is the biggest video streaming service where you can find videos on literally every existing topic. No wonder that with so much content available, you might simply have no time to watch everything you want to. That’s where the Watch Later playlist comes in.

Unfortunately, if you save a video to this playlist, it doesn’t mean it can’t be gone—a creator might delete or hide it as a private piece, YouTube might delete it for violating the service’s terms of use, or videos might get taken down by rights-holders due to copyright infringement. Such cases are numerous. How to make sure the videos you want to watch later are safe and don’t go anywhere? Use 4K Video Downloader+.
