How to Send YouTube to a Cell Phone
Videos that play on the streaming video site YouTube are normally only viewable inside your web browser while you're online. Transferring this video to a cellphone requires you to use a website that can capture the video playing on YouTube and save it to your computer's hard drive. The native program Windows Media Player can then take your saved file and transfer it to your cellphone.
