FAQ

Questions answered.

Is downloading YouTube videos legal?
Downloading YouTube videos for personal use, research, education, and archival purposes is widely practiced and legally protected in many jurisdictions under fair use doctrine. BatchTube is used by researchers, educators, journalists, and content archivists worldwide. We do not scrape YouTube's platform or violate rate limits. Use BatchTube responsibly, within the bounds of your intended purpose.
Does BatchTube work on Mac and Linux?
Yes. BatchTube runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The application runs a local server that opens in your browser — the same interface works identically across all three platforms. Windows users get a one-click start.bat launcher. Mac and Linux users run a shell script.
Does BatchTube violate YouTube's Terms of Service?
BatchTube is powered by a robust open-source engine maintained by a global developer community. YouTube’s ToS restricts commercial redistribution of downloaded content — not personal use or research. BatchTube does not redistribute content. It downloads to your local machine for your own use. Consult your own legal counsel if you have specific compliance questions.
Does BatchTube require an internet connection?
BatchTube needs an internet connection to download content from YouTube — that is the nature of the task. But the application itself runs entirely locally on your machine. Your downloaded files, transcripts, and AI summaries are stored on your hard drive. No cloud account required. No data sent to our servers. Your content stays yours.
How accurate are the transcripts and AI summaries?
Transcripts are generated by AI speech recognition running locally on your machine. Accuracy is typically 95%+ for clear English audio. AI summaries extract key points, topics, and takeaways from the transcript automatically. Both outputs are editable and exportable.
What happens if YouTube changes something and BatchTube breaks?
BatchTube’s download engine is powered by a robust open-source engine maintained by a global developer community that pushes updates within hours of any YouTube change. Creator and Pro subscribers receive automatic updates. Lifetime customers receive every update forever. Your workflow stays uninterrupted.

Your competitors are already automating their research.
