Google Adds YouTube Support To Google Takeout, Now Lets You Download Your Original Video Files

No comments

Google just added a new feature to Google Takeout, the company’s “data liberation” service for downloading your personal data from Google’s various services. Starting today, you will also be able to easily download the videos you previously uploaded to YouTube.

The files you download from Takeout are exactly the same files you previously uploaded. These files will not feature the transcoding or transformations that YouTube generally applies to your videos before they go live on YouTube.  YouTube engineer Brian Hawkins describes this process in the announcement today as “Your videos in. Your videos out.”
