Downloading YouTube videos in 1080p, can be a bit tricky because it’s usually against YouTube’s terms of service. From what I’ve seen and heard, the main risks are:
- Legal Stuff: YouTube’s TOS basically says you shouldn’t download videos unless there’s a download button or permission. So, technically, you’re breaking their rules, which could lead to trouble if YouTube catches you (like account issues or legal issues, depending on where you are).

- Quality & Security: Sometimes, downloaded videos might have lower quality or unwanted watermarks, especially if you’re using shady tools. Plus, some sites or apps might ask for unnecessary permissions or try to scam you.
