Background:

I've seen over the past time that students need to download videos regarding there lectures because the Internet connectivity in many areas is still too slow to watch live lectures and so to make an app that is easy to use and they can download videos according to their preferred quality with minimal data loss. That thing inspired me to make something which can be useful and make some difference.

How I built it:

During the making of this software, I learned many new things in Python programming language including scrapping and many other aspects in the same domain. I'm still working on making it even better and easy to use. Next feature will be to download and extract audio file from the URL.
