    New user here. I've installed and uninstalled multiple times. I am running Ventura 13.2.1 on a 2023 MacBook M2 Pro. I get the box that says Download Video and the arrow scrolling down. Nothing ever happens after that. It runs forever. Same exact thing with a request for downloading audio. Any suggestions?

    The last time I successfully downloaded a YouTube video was Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
    I began experiencing error messages on Tuesday, January 21, 2025 [please see attached screenshot. below].
    Here is an embed of the most recent video I attempted to download.

    I've used Parallels Toolbox for Mac since 2020, and I've experienced this issue about once a year, so I'm familiar with it.
    YouTube changes things on their end, yes.
    Each time the app was updated to a new version following this issue it was resolved.
    Currently I'm using version 6.7.0 on macOS 10.15.7 Catalina.
    I hope this can be resolved soon because my current subscription expires in early March 2025.
    Support team, please help.
    Thank you.
    Best wishes!

    I'm experiencing exactly the same issue as JohnL82. Last week all was fine with audio downloads but since yesterday I'm getting the 'Failed to get the video' errors when trying to download from YouTube. I'm also using version 6.7.0 on macOS 10.15.7 Catalina.
    Hoping the support team can figure out a solution.

    I am using Mac OS Sequoia Version 15.3 (24D60).
    The download feature you're talking about doesn't work at all,
    and it doesn't appear to be supported here either, which is disappointing.

    垃圾产品,买的时候说可以赠送工具箱,买完根本下载都下载不了,然后说订阅用户支持在线聊天和电话支持,买完发现根本没有,在线聊天和电话支持的服务,现在根本找不到人
