How to Convert URL to Video with URL Converter

Background Info: What's URL

URL is an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator and is a reference (an address) to a resource on the Internet. Or put it another way, it's the address of the page you are going to visit. By entering the URL of the videos, you can watch the videos on any browser.
