Step 2. Open the desired video and copy its URL

Make sure the website is supported in SYC2. Navigate to the address bar of the video you want to download and copy its URL. You’ll notice it in the downloading list in less than a second. Alternatively, you may type your video’s name in the search box inside the app and click “Add video to queue”.
