I cannot find my mp4 downloads from YouTube on my Android phone

[Android Central Question]

They are hidden somewhere in the internal device directories

Welcome to Android Central! Are these videos you downloaded using YouTube Premium? If you don't have YT Premium, then any other way of downloading videos violates YouTube's terms of service, which we won't discuss here.

When you download content using the Youtube app, it gets saved in a restricted folder you won't have access to. Those downloads are protected by DRM and are not intended something you can keep as your own. They're simply a convenience measure to you can still view them when you're not connected to WiFi or mobile data (cellular).
Don't use Google's Youtube app to steal other people's work, there are plenty of other alternatives to do so.
