If you get an error about MSVCR100.dll then read this: (just download this: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)) You can also paste in two youtube urls in one command.
Same thing with playlist, just put the link there instead of the video and hit enter. When it's done you can just hit ⬆️ on your keyboard to get the command you just ran, erase the youtube url and paste another video in there. if you hit enter after that it should start downloading the video and save it in your user folder. (you right click to paste) example: yt-dlp.exe start typing in yt-dlp.exe or just type in y and hit Tab and it should fill the rest in.Īfter the yt-dlp.exe you should put in a space and then just paste in a youtube link as a test. open powershell (just search the start menu for powershell) (if you're on windows XP then use cmd.exe instead). Now most of the setup is done, now all you have to do to download a youtube video is to Unzip the contents of the bin folder in your userfolder directly, that means unzip all the exes so it becomes C:\Users\Forcen\ffmpeg.exe etc. Open the zip file, and inside the ffmpeg-4.0.2-win32-static. 
(you normally go to the official site here, and it sends you here to find the windows build you want, I just did that step for you) Edit: changed the link since shut down.
Download FFmpeg, you can get the version you want here. Result (for me): C:\Users\Forcen\yt-dlp.exe You can get to it quickly by pasting %userprofile% into the address bar of explorer. Place it in the in your user folder, aka the folder that has the same name as your windows username. (this is based on the official instructions)ĮDIT : youtube-dl has gotten a bit stale so you might want to try this fork instead: (just download yt-dlp.exe from there instead and replace it in the instructions) This is how you set it up, it takes a few steps but it's real easy when you have done this once. If this seems way too complicated then you can use a gui for it like this one: 
Here is a guide on how to use YouTube-dl, the best free way to do this, wrote this for a similar question years ago but It might have been removed or something.
