How to get the download url of a video instead of playback url? #17548

There is no such thing as playback URL. There is just an URL and how it's going to be treated is up to the browser. |

In desktop the given URL is always played on browser but in mobile the URL is prompted to save as. How can I force the desktop browser to save the video instead of playing in a tab? also other downloaders like https://en.savefrom.net/1-how-to-download-youtube-video/ gives a url that does not play in a new tab in chrome, the url directly downloads in browser. What is the difference? |

Press "CTRL+s"? |
The url youtube-dl returns is a playback url, and when i paste it on a browser it starts to play the video instead of directly downloading it. what parameters to set to overcome that situation?
