If you just want to download in your phone use the seal app from F-droid which is a yt-dlp wrapper.

Thanks for this guidance. In times like these, I find sunlight is always the best disinfectant.

The yt-dlp application functions better alongside ffmpeg, so I recommend installing that too. If on Linux, whatever is available via one's package manager /should/ do the trick.

Note, the project does make mention there are issues [1] with "standard ffmpeg", and is therefore minting custom builds [2][3] of ffmpeg, with additional patches applied.
