Does the downloader work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Paste the public Shorts URL just as you would a regular video URL. Private, members-only, removed, or access-restricted videos cannot be retrieved.
Can I always download a YouTube video in 1080p or 4K?
No. Bento requests your preferred quality, but the files returned depend on the source and provider. The result only shows files that are actually available.
Where is the downloaded video saved?
Your browser normally saves it to the device Downloads folder. Bento does not add the file to your Bento account or permanent storage.
