Here is a step by step procedure , that users who are not yet too familiar with VideoLAN can follow to obtain the desired result :
1. Start VLC;
2. Go menu Media > Open network stream;
3. Paste the URL YouTube videos in Enter a URL network and click Play.
It also allows you to save streams from Youtube although there are many other ways.
