Some YouTube videos are draggy and contain a lot of fluff.
Other videos are only interesting at a specific time (e.g. 5 minutes into the video).
If so, you might be looking to download part of a YouTube video instead of the full video.
By doing this, you’ll save storage space and make the video more concise.
This is because a shorter YouTube video has a smaller size.
