There are several ways to download a YouTube video to your phone. The first is to subscribe to the YouTube Premium service, which costs CZK 179 per month (the first month is offered free of charge).

Just a small warning at the end. Downloading YouTube videos in the aforementioned unofficial ways is not illegal, but it does violate the platform's rules of use. YouTube specifically states that: “You may not provide, reproduce, download, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, change, modify or otherwise use any part of the Service or the Content except as (a) expressly permitted by the Service; (b) when prior written consent has been granted by YouTube as well as any rights holder; or (c) when permitted by applicable law'.
