We all agree upon the YouTube being #1 video entertainment and learning platform. There are almost billions of hours of YouTube video plays every month. All the new upcoming movie trailers and video songs are promoted on YouTube due to its strong user base.
While most of the users are video viewers, some of them are content creators who make earnings out of YouTube.
Also, it’s not easy for everyone to stay online and watch YouTube videos at a cost of data. Hence, there comes a savior GenYouTube or GenYT. This site helps in converting and download YouTube Videos in audio and video formats. Gen YouTube is available online and downloads YouTube videos without browser extension or addon.
Below is the screenshot of the GenYT website for our YouTube channel.
