Ask How can I protect my YouTube videos from being downloaded?

[Newman]

This and some are some questions that nee users of YouTube may want to ask. Unfortunately, there is no solution to this. Videos, though they are not allowed to be downloaded on YouTube, but saved. They can be downloaded using third party applications, which YouTube cannot stop or limit the users from doing.

The only thing is to add audio reference that can be mentioning your YouTube channel names or watermark the videos. What else?

First off, try setting your videos to Unlisted or Private if you don't need everyone to see them. YouTube doesn't allow downloads unless it's through their own features, so if someone steals your content, you can report it. You can also turn off embedding and use Content ID to track where your videos end up. Throwing on a watermark or your logo helps too. Still, if someone really wants your video, they can just screen record it.
